JPEG XL is an approved international standard: ISO/IEC 18181

https://www.iso.org/standard/77977.html

Anyone interested in doing an independent implementation can use this specification (or a recent draft of the upcoming 2nd edition). Alternatively, you can look at the source code of one of the three JPEG XL implementations currently available: libjxl, J40, and jxlatte. These are all open-source, and in a way that's an executable specification.

Where does one find a recent draft?

ISO standards are not standards. Closed standards are not standards. Implementations are not a standard. This is a bad joke.

What is a closed standard from your point of view?

Is it simply just one that cost money to access?

If I made a language standard on my own it would not be a open standard from quite a few orgs point of view. It is annoying that you are just throwing around vague use of words without giving a clear definition.

A closed standard is not a standard. That's it. It's a document of little to no relevance that may as well not exist.

ISO 7010 is an ISO standard for graphical hazard and safety signs. It is literally everywhere, well not everywhere because there are some exceptions but still used in a majority of the world and therefore has an enormous relevance. And it is closed by your definition; you have no way to freely obtain it. Now please explain an apparent discrepancy between your claim and the reality, and also do not ignore my prior request to elaborate how publicly available standards may have helped this particular situation with Google.

You are being incredibly inarticulate, or you are just arguing in bad faith.

What is a closed standard?

Also the world run on those documents with little to no relevance, no matter how much people dislike how you need to pay to view them. It is a sad state of affairs.

If you actually wanted to make changes you would lobby for it, you are just saying they don't exist which is of little help to change the status quo.

Have you signed this open letter already?
