The purpose of DNG was to replace all those proprietary formats. It's stated in the introduction to the spec.
If you want to store your proprietary "Active D Light," according to the spec: "DNG allows proprietary data to be stored using private tags, private IFDs and/or a private MakerNote."

Also, the hardware in DSLRs is typically custom ASICS. Do you think there is a hardware limitation that prevents Nikon from outputting DNG at the same performance level as NEF?
