Godfrey has explained this several times, and being the technodunce that I am in such matters, I cannot say if he's correct or not wrt the technical aspects of his statements. However, I'm real good at interpreting and understanding results, and based on what Godders has said here, and some JPEG comparisons put forth by, I believe, Dario, I just don't see a "problem." What I see is a lack of understanding by a number of people who expect to see a JPEG look a certain way.
When shooting JPEG with the DS, I reduce contrast, saturation, and sharpness from the standard settings. I found that gives better control and superior results when processing the JPEG inages. If people don't want to fiddle with their JPEGs as much, and feel they are too soft, "etc.," then all that needs to be done is to adjust the sharpness, contrast, and saturation in the camera. That's why those controls were put there - so the user can fine tune the results to his or her preferences. BTW, no camera passes on "all the information" when producing a JPEG.
