As noted in bug 693940 comment 37, and bug 693940 comment 39, we've got some code for rejecting SVG images which is the inverse of the comment that describes it.

(The comment describes what's accepted; the code tests for what's rejected.)

This could be made clearer by pulling the "!" out of the code, so that we effectively have:
 if (!(accepted)) {
   reject;

Then it's easier to audit that the code matches the comment.
[er, somehow ended up with an arbitrary component. Sorry; --> SVG]
Component: Audio/Video: Playback → SVG
Attached patch fix v1Splinter Review
So this patch changes:
 if (!A || (!B && !C))
...to:
 if (!(A && (B || C))
...which are be equivalent by the laws of logic and how "!" is applied to a complex expression.
