"And because of lapping and block size alignment issues, we cannot just turn it on and off when we want. Yet another neat idea that turns out to fail due to practical considerations."
So blocks kill this. I was wondering...: Can't we move past blocks? Couldn't the images be encoded progressively and adaptively to the content (and gain some advantage)? Rectangle blocks aren't really a good representation of reality. (Unless you photograph a perfectly aligned checkboard pattern)
