Reading external/libjpeg-turbo/README, we use libjpeg-turbo-2.1.5.1.tar.gz for
jpeg import support (but it seems also for export too considering we use
functions like "jpeg_create_compress").

I don't know if libjpeg-turbo supports jpeg-xr if not, it means we must find a
lib (compatible with LO license) which supports the format, in C or C++, well
maintained, etc.

Considering the size of OOXML specs (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standardization_of_Office_Open_XML#Criticism),
I'm not sure it's a pb to not implement a standard which isn't even implemented
natively by Gimp and Photoshop (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_XR#Software_support).

Then we can wonder if we're talking about read support only or read and write
support but quite quickly, if there's read-only support, people will complain
they can't modify the images of a doc.
Of course, we may convert the image in another format but 1) it adds even more
complexity 2) it'll bother some users
Finally I completely agree with
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=114533#c5 :
"Also removing support for a image format is much harder so adapting a new
image format should take a lot of consideration as it can have long lasting
effects"

Perhaps it could be interesting to ask ESC opinion?
