John, I agree with Michael. JPEG2000 as a distribution format is going to be problematic for many users. TIFF+JPEG is pretty universal. I would add that YCbCr mode jpeg imagery in TIFF can be quite a bit better quality for size than RGB imagery. In some cases special writing options are needed to produce this and their can be some compatibility issues.
I would love to reach a day when JPEG2000-in-TIFF was a good option and was supported effectively (if a wee bit slowly) by open SDK like OpenJPEG. I may well take this on as a personal task at some point though it would still take a long time to be widely supported.
