Back when BPG was announced, I mentioned here that the real headline was the idea of distributing a new image codec without requiring a browser change, and without requiring the format to be solidified. So, it should be possible to emscripten (that's basically how BPG works - it's an H.265 still-frame codec compiled to Javascript) with Daala, and distribute Daala still-images even though it's work-in-progress. The best bit is when Daala improves, you just re-generate your images and distribute a new Javascript decoder. Anyone up for this? Even if it's not as good as BPG (it's very slightly worse it seems), at least it's royalty-free.
