JPEG [JFIF, really] compression

Actually, as someone has sort of noted recently, the final decompressed
image will [should] come out the same, no matter which viewing/decompression
engine you use.  

The big largely unexplored area for jpeg is the matter of compression engines.
You could easily make one that did decent compression of cartoons [sudden
color boundaries instead of gradual changes] or ones that did a decent job
of compressing side-by-side stereo images.  

It's all a small matter of programming....
