As an aside, I always imagined that some organisations, if given the chance,
would define a video codec output that looked something like:

<frame>
    ...
    <pixel x-location="1091" y-location="1002" render="true">
        <red>128</red>
        <green>64</green>
        <blue>32</blue>
        <alpha>1.0</alpha>
    </pixel>
    <pixel x-location="1092" y-location="1002" render="true">
        <red>128</red>
        <green>64</green>
        <blue>31</blue>
        <alpha>1.0</alpha>
    </pixel>
    ...
</frame>

Not a lot of compression here!  Certainly not the ideal format for mobile 
video.
