Isn't that the format that Microsoft recently patented some math for (math that has been in the PD for years btw), recently, and that, with a crude excuse, google vetoed from his own browser the day after?

A shame, really, but I don't see it happening.

I do!

JPEG-XL has some quite nice advantages and I would like to have support for it.

Firefox is not appealable for end-users since long time ago.
