For first, this news is old news. It dates back to the JPEG meeting in Lausanne this
summer.

Not that it matters, but the latest developments are much more recent
than that -- the article I posted was published early this month.

Believe me, I'm sitting at the source. This goes back to last summer,
really.

Here is some history:

The work item to standardise it dated to July, subject first to a
ballot. (This was the result of an introduction of HD Photo to the
group last April).

The more recent news (November) is that the ballot decided to go ahead
with the standardisation.
