Damn, you're right. I wonder why we haven't made use of this, yet. BTW, is this code from JAI (like the classes Oleg Tkachenko uses in his TIFF renderer) or is this separately developed code (ASF origin)?
You know that there's a number of people who would actually be interested in creating/having a BSD-style image (codec) library? I think that should be one of the packages that should be separated out, when FOP and Batik get closer together.
