Ok, so Mozilla won't help JPEG XL…

Overall, we don't see JPEG-XL performing enough better than its closest competitors (like AVIF) to justify addition on that basis alone. — https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/522#issuecomment-1409539985

    @nhoizey I agree... on that basis alone.
    Completely disagree wrt "feature advancements": progressive loading, recompression, colors; any of these make alternatives not just worse but incomparable.
