I agree with Frank that a solution to extend TIFF rather than replace it is
preferable (i.e. lets make rev 7.0 rather than TIFF64).  However, I think
it's a little premature to begin making specific suggestions.  First we
have to agree on some goals and a general approach, no?  It seems like
there will be a fair struggle ahead just to establish a procedure for
accomplishing these desired changes to the TIFF spec.  Unfortunately, I
have no experience in this regard and therefore no concrete suggestions on
where to begin.  Anyone else able to take up some leadership here?
