Photography could use a well described lossless compressed format that can handle various forms of sensor data. I suppose extensions of TIFF would work pretty well for the purpose, the tags describing say sensor layout and even maybe spectral sensitivities. Heck, Kodak and Nikon also put their proprietary compression schemes in it. Maybe something new and open would work.
