Yeah, how are people going to use this?  My use is raw monochrome spectrogram
images, time annotated along one axis, frequency along the other.  I think
of jpeg as being some kind of final image format for use in documents, html, etc.

On the other hand, it wouldn't be too absurd to use a jpeg image as a
portion of a plot.  Say I've some quantitative data from a particle accelerator
experiment and in one of the corners of the plot want to have the collision
photo it corresponds to.  Or say a company/lab has its trademark in jpeg
format and wants to put it in the corner of a plot.
