@bitsavers I know, there are historical reasons behind this, which are mostly related to having a production workflow with processing steps that involve multiple vendors.
Personally I'd be in favor of scanning to an image format like JP2, and then use that as a basis for all derivatives. But this would require a major re-design of the processing workflow and all technical documentation. We've had some discussions about this, but this hasn't led to any action so far.
