There already is agreement on the SANE standard, the source of disagreement<br>
is Ewald's (as yet unreleased) frontend, and perhaps the HP backend, which<br>
are apparently non-compliant. There are no end of non-compliant and down<br>
right broken components in the sample implementation, so when the<br>
behaviour you see in a SANE component disagrees with the standard, it's<br>
usually because the observed behaviour is wrong.<br>
<p>
I think I got the most vital examples fixed for 1.0.1, so you should get<br>
that if you're having problems. I am working on a testbed backend, complete<br>
with 12-bit and 16-bit support but it won't be finished for a while yet.<br>

<p>
I'm still hoping this is a dreadful mistake in the HP backend, and the<br>
actual hardware format doesn't resemble this at all. It's an incredibly<br>
stupid alignment, not least because it's not convenient for any apps,<br>
except perhaps Ewald's (as yet unreleased) frontend. If they've done this<br>
in hardware, SANE compliance is the least of their worries.<br>
