    If the main benefit is 25% - 35% reduction in file size, it's definitely not worth the switch if the format doesn't get support from all browsers. I assume Apple, Mozilla and Microsoft will all be against this.

    Bandwidth and hosting is getting bigger, faster, and cheaper all the time. We don't really need this format. If it were open source, free, and cut file size by half, it would STILL be difficult to get everyone to adopt it. I just don't see this going anywhere.

    Then again, it's not like the have a bunch of idiots employed over there at Google. You know?
