I think there's a lost opportunity to use H.264 High Profile IDR frames as a still image format. Efficiency is better than WebP, and we'd get hardware decode support on most devices.
HEVC promises to be a
very good still image format, particularly at high resolutions.
Getting support for arbitrary bit depths and channels would be great for all these formats, of course, so they could be used for RAW Bayer pattern and that sort of thing. I wish JPEG XR had taken off...
