While I'm not particularly a supporter of HSI, I don't think that JFIF
is so good that any other format simply serves to confuse the issue. HSI
got their product out very early on, and it doesn't seem that anyone was
using JFIF widely at that time. Expecting someone to conform to a
standard which is not in use at the time the software was written, and
which I *believe* was still a proposed standard at that time, is
simply not realistic.
