Does anybody know why the earlier JPEG-XR also never got useful browser support? Are we just going to see this repeating over and over with nice general purpose image formats being relegated to individual vendor-centric ecosystems and never providing widespread interop? I find it frustrating how computers have gained so much compute and storage capacity but the web seems to be slipping away as ever more consumer-focused and neutered. Having been there since the beginning, I really expected the web tech and browsers to improve and facilitate scientific data sharing. Not being able to natively decode and display any "exotic" imagery without a bunch of server-side nonsense is frustrating. Today's client machines have so much capability but become totally balkanized when you can't just serve an image tag and display a real scientific image. Instead you either have to hope the users install extra "workstation" tools to display an image after downloading, or deploy absurdly over-engineered "image servers" to do the basic image rendering and ship plain 8-bit JPEGs to the client. Why can't a browser natively provide some basic range-mapping color transfer function tools for high bit-depth images in an image tag? Why can't it provide a pan-zoom viewing mode for high resolution images in an image tag?
