An experienced diver will often times panic when, due to lack of attention or equipment failure, their air supply stops. When I was learning and practicing buddy breathing we were taught to hand the diver needing air the regulator from your mouth and then you go for your spare mouthpiece simply because they will often focus completely on the working air supply in your mouth -- to the point of just pulling it from you.

You are correct: the specification is a work in progress which we plan to wrap of quickly. The approach is not to over-specify the format with features/options initially, but begin with a functional sub-set of HIEF and MIAF. The target is to provide an HDR/WCG successor to JPEG. This work is being done by a working group in the Alliance for Open Media.

AV1 can also encode RGB color space. Such usage would probably be more prevalent in the still image use case.
