I'm interested in extensions to IFF also.
With the advent of TI 34010 based boards for the A2000, and
the utility of IFF in other places (like a VAX at work), I'd
also like to here of any extensions to IFF to allow 24-bit truecolor
(or even more, like Landsat images) storage.

I'm thinking of defining an alternate to ILBM chunks which
allow non-bitplane interleaved image storage (like perhaps line interleaved
instead).
