[gdal-dev] Idea: GeoTIFF box in JPEG to add georeferencing

[Frank Warmerdam]

Even,

I have no objection to preparing such a GeoTIFF-in-JPEG/PNG mechanism, but
to be honest I find it hard to get excited about GeoTIFF as a broader way
of describing coordinate system information because of the various quirks
with GeoTIFF and the binary opaqueness of GeoTIFF.  However, there is
already precident with LAS and GeoJP2.

Best regards,
Frank
