- criddell 10mo agoWell, there are de jure standards (what the w3c says a browser should do) and de facto standards (what Chrome does).
- shadowgovt 10mo agoAs it ever was. Standards are a three-edged sword: spec, intent of spec, and implementations of spec.
- izacus 10mo agoWhich standard requires support of JXL?
- scheme271 10mo agoThe PDF association apparently recently added jpeg xl to the pdf spec and indicated that it's the preferred solution for HDR content.
- jsheard 10mo agoThen again PDF also technically supports embedded audio, video, 3D graphics, and arbitrary Javascript. If Flash hadn't died it would probably still support that too. It's a clown car format where everyone besides Adobe just tacitly agrees to ignore huge chunks of the spec.
- josefx 10mo ago> It's a clown car format As is the destiny of any document format in wide spread use, PDF had flash, doc had ActiveX. Also this text is formatted using a mark down language fully capable of embedding entire applications.
- kmeisthax 10mo agoPDF had Flash support? I thought the Flash Xtra for Shockwave was nuts...
- izacus 10mo agoWeb standard I meant. The OP didn't talk about PDFs from context.
