I think the authors of JPEG-XL shoud add full fallback JPEG decoding as to their library (JPEG-XL is mostly a superset of JPEG anyway).
That would help to alleviate the political backpressure of folks saying that browser vendors are reluctant to add new libraries, because then there's more dependencies to support.
With JPEG-XL taking care of JPEG as well, they could then simply drop their JPEG software and rely on JPEG-XL to decode both formats.

Currently Firefox (nightly) kinda supports JPEG-XL except:- No color profiles support
- No progressive decoding support
- No alpha-channel support (that's very important)
- No animation support (though I doubt anyone wants it - you've got video codecs for that)
- No HDR support (that's a deal breaker at least for me)
Apple's support is not complete either but they have a ton of cash to burn, so it's just a matter of their will. Firefox with its slowly dissipating market share doesn't have too much leeway.

In addition to Apple revealing this week support is coming for the JPEG-XL image format in their Safari web browser, another step forward for this royalty-free image codec is FFmpeg now able to decode animated JPEG-XL files...
