I don't think it is a good idea at all to depend on the URL. What about 
future image formats? What about images created with cgi scripts? What 
about content negotiation of images?

I think forcing a file extension in the syntax is pretty restrictive. 
Even the URL for Daring Fireball's logo hasn't a file extension. :-)
