A question some people here might know something about.

Is there any significant movement in the browser/web universe toward  
wider support/use of JPEG2000 format?


When i first heard about it, i tried saving things in jp2 format with  
GraphicConverter and the results were impressive.  Adobe CS2 includes  
an optional jp2 plugin but other than that, i haven't heard much  
about it in ages.  While searching around a little, i found this page:

http://homepage.mac.com/gregcoats/jp2/formats.html

It correctly claims that JPEG, JPEG2000, PNG, PSD, TIFF, TIFF LZW,  
and BMP are all rendered properly by Safari, but shows that JPEG2000,  
PSD, TIFF, and TIFF LZW aren't rendered by Camino.  Of course  
Firefox, Flock, Opera, Mozilla, and SeaMonkey don't either, where  
iCab, Omniweb, Shiira, Sunrise, and Webkit will.  Pretty much as one  
would expect.  The ancient IE for Mac only worked for only two formats.

Just curious,
