Re: [Tiff] TIFF tag index and documentation lost?

This would a problem for Adobe. Did they ever make their registry 
public?  I suspect not.


The work that Joris did to collect this publicly-available tag 
information and summarize it in a useful way is quite valuable. 
Unfortunately, other information sites (including run by the US 
Government) simply linked to his site.

I know tags were up to at least TIFFtag 51159 and 51160, I registered 
them for my ZIF format around 2012.

We have lost literally thousands of registered tags, huge damage.

Thanks for this! I am not sure why the WayBack machine was producing 
broken URLs for me.  It would be good for the libtiff project to also 
independently archive these files.
