-FILE FORMAT WARS
-================
-
-The ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29/WG1 standards committee (also known as JPEG, together
-with ITU-T SG16) currently promotes different formats containing the name
-"JPEG" which are incompatible with original DCT-based JPEG. IJG therefore does
-not support these formats (see REFERENCES). Indeed, one of the original
-reasons for developing this free software was to help force convergence on
-common, interoperable format standards for JPEG files.
-Don't use an incompatible file format!
-(In any case, our decoder will remain capable of reading existing JPEG
-image files indefinitely.)

+FILE FORMAT COMPATIBILITY
+=========================
+
+This software implements ITU T.81 | ISO/IEC 10918 with some extensions from
+ITU T.871 | ISO/IEC 10918-5 (JPEG File Interchange Format-- see REFERENCES).
+Informally, the term "JPEG image" or "JPEG file" most often refers to JFIF or
+a subset thereof, but there are other formats containing the name "JPEG" that
+are incompatible with the DCT-based JPEG standard or with JFIF (for instance,
+JPEG 2000 and JPEG XR). This software therefore does not support these
+formats. Indeed, one of the original reasons for developing this free software
+was to help force convergence on a common, interoperable format standard for
+JPEG files.
+
+JFIF is a minimal or "low end" representation. TIFF/JPEG (TIFF revision 6.0 as
+modified by TIFF Technical Note #2) can be used for "high end" applications
+that need to record a lot of additional data about an image.
