Description
**Suggestion**
In most of current Matrix clients we can send as image only jpg, gif and webp file formats. But in the Spec [it's not described ](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.2/client-server-api/#mimage)the list of suitable formats for `m.image` events.
So now we are missing support for SVG and [Lottie](https://lottiefiles.com/) formats in Matrix clients.
This issue is vote to describe list of common image formats, that should be supported in clients, and include `SVG` and `Lottie` formats to the list of supported.
