Well I hope the name RGBI will be used in a new SANE standard. There<br>
is a vague analogy between the IR and the alpha channel but this<br>
doesn't warrent to call them 'comparable', let alone to use their<br>
names interchangebly.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; Of course we could add an IR and an UV channel and thousands of other</i><br>

<i>&gt; suppurt such data.</i><br>
<p>
What image file formats do or do not exist has actually got nothing to<br>
do with the topic at hand. SANE is only concerned with the data flow<br>
between scanner, backend, frontend and potentially something<br>
in between. It is of no concern to SANE how the data is stored on file.<br>
Besides, perhaps a future frontend will know how to process these<br>
thousends of data channels to export only 3 neatly corrected RGB channels<br>
(hyperscanning comes to mind, where the full spectrum for each pixel<br>
is measured).<br>
<p>
You don't seem to have addressed my concerns, namely that your name<br>
change is confusing to people and an obsticle to future additions of<br>
functionality.<br>
