This appears to be very well written and easy to understand even if you only know the basics of digital image encoding.
I found the parts about patching and frames with different blend modes very fascinating. I wonder if it would be possible to build a GUI DCC app that uses JpegXL as its project format.
It seems that it could support layers, splines, symbols (transformed instances of layers), blend modes and animations without "baking" any of it to pixels
