Registration without a better reality: The case against JPEG XL

Nobody has brought it up yet, but JPEG XL seems to be broken in (not only) the USA. Much like WEBP, JPEG-XL is two different codecs in one. There's VARDCT mode, and Modular Mode. Modular Mode is normally used for lossless, but it can also be used for 1:1 power transfer. Should probably have a (2018) or (2024) (latest revision) on the title, especially given the whole unfortunate history, I think JPEG XL really, really deserves a try.
