Spec
I'm not sure if there is a web spec defining new image formats like jpeg-xr or webp.
Instead here are some relevant links regarding jpeg xr.

Summary
I'm liked to extend the ImageDecoder module to support JPEG-XR. My approach will be very similar with what other implementations for jpeg, png, and webp do.
Motivation
- JPEG XR is an open image standard.
- It gives web developers benefits of better compression, support for high bit depths, alpha channels, lossless and so on. [1][2]
- IE has supported the formated since its version 9. And Firefox restarted to discuss it. [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=500500] since the license issue of the format has been solved (BSD licensed.)
- I don't want to compare or argue which format is better. But I think giving more options for web image format that web developers can choose is just good. =)Compatibility Risk
Low. IE has supported the format. And Firefox reopened a ticket to discuss jpeg-xr support since its license changed to BSD.
IE : Supported since IE9
FF : https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=500500
Safari : Opened a ticket but no active discussion yet, I'll propose it to WebKit community as well. (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49889)
Ongoing technical constraints
None
Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and Android WebView)?
Yes
OWP launch tracking bug?

I have no authority to create a new entry(but filled a relevant form and sent it) so I can't point out a link for the feature dashboard for now.
Requesting approval to ship?

I found that reference in a webp mailing list discussion [2], where it was noted that jpeg-xr suffers from ringing artifacts (mosquito noise).

At a more recent comparison site, I looked at Colonge Catherdral in jpeg-xr and webp:
