Yeah I thought about this too. But let's not discuss about various 
technical details on this mailing list (otherwise I could have discussed 
for hours at yesterday's meeting). We'll deal with bugs and evolutions 
of the format one at a time in dedicated tickets.

Not necessarily. The problem with TIFF is to be over-complicated. ORA 
should not be, it will be simpler and well specified. We could still use 
TIFF just for individual layers in a simple way (only for high bit 
depth, not using advanced features).

Anyway not saying that we should use TIFF. Maybe other formats are 
better suited. Just saying that the fact that a format itself has a lot 
of features should not prevent us to use it for simpler needs.

But as I said, this is not the time to speak about these details. Sorry, 
I let myself answer unexpectedly. :P
