Much will happen before this gets to the level where a webmaster will need to worry about it.

Stick with jpeg for the forseeable future, even if Microsoft rolls this out, even if Apple/Adobe/... should support it, the first part of the world that is likely to use it (if ever) are the photographers.

If it gets popular there, only then will webmasters need to start to worry about browser support before they can even consider using it.

Personally I'd much rather see an open standard. [Yes, I tried to read some of Microsofts file format "specifications", it's utterly incomprehensible]
