For bitonal images, I'd love to see JBIG2 support http://www.jpeg.org/jbig/jbigpt2.html . It can either be lossless or lossy, and supposedly is 3 to 5x smaller than G4/MMR. Of course, I take that with a grain of salt. It's currently supported inside of the Acrobat spec (v 1.5?) and there is an open source decompression library already http://jbig2dec.sourceforge.net/ , although it's still in alpha stages. Any thoughts on this? Jason
