Is there a published, freely available specification for JPEG-XL yet? The W3C publishes JPEG and PNG specifications, and AVIF can be found on the AOM website. One big issue with JPEG-XL is that the specification is closed. The old drafts I have found were extremely poor. I have heard that the actual spec is apparently better, but I cannot find a copy of it myself.

- Jasper_ 4y agoI mean, I agree with that, sure, but I can't imagine it changing any time soon. Ultimately, the JPEG-XL team made the choice was made to standardize the format within the JPEG WG of ISO, and for better or worse, this has had a pretty substantial effect on adoption. Maybe next time make better choices.
