I think all the RAW formats generated by digital cameras are really just slightly customized TIFFs.

  Really? Slightly customized in what way? Would a tiff reader be able to decode them?

    As far as I’m aware, all the tags (the T in TIFF) are in standard TIFF format. But your generic TIFF reader might haves some trouble getting the image data (I.e., the pixels).

      For sure, you'd need de-Bayering for a start. And stuff like white balance will be in a custom tag.
