The article makes a good point for camera makers to standardize on RAW formats. Canon is a horror, with subtle differences between bodies to make keeping up with them a real nightmare. DNG may really be the way to go, but y'know, John, I'm something of a dunce wrt all these formats and what makes 'em work.
I didn't mention Knoll by name because it seemed that few people would know who he is, and even though he's the primary developer of ACR he's still following company policy.
