Why wouldn’t AVIF work?

@gianni@disobey.net @nhoizey@mamot.fr from what I understand (and I’m not an expert, so I’m happy to learn here), JPEG-XL can get you closer to RAW in terms of what features the format supports (higher resolution and color depth), so if you want to hang onto the most data from the cameras that you can, it sounds like JPEG-XL works better as a source file than AVIF. So not to say AVIF wouldn’t work here, but knowing that JPEG-XL is on the way to full browser support, that’s the one I’d like to see camera makers adopt as a replacement for JPEG.
