I don’t want to argue too much, especially since we often agree.
“Not losing information” is of course essential for production and archiving.
I know for sure that some companies would not like to spend 1 Mbit/s
bitrate (or even more) on some HOA track at 3rd or 4th order. (I am
not making this up.)
Netflix streams Dolby Atmos at 768 kbit/s. (if available, so this is
max. bitrate)
Just to compare...
“Open HOA” is possible, agreed. (see above)
Best,
Stefan

In this sense independent from the actual source format. (Which
does not have to be .caf, as Fons already wrote.)
Fons also wrote about the several advantages of CAF.
- In my estimation you need standardization rather for the
distribution/CE/application side than for production.
I'm less concerned by distribution. Not loosing information is more
important; standardization can help, but I would not bet too much on
it. Being creative with good documentation can be as good as trying
to fit everything in elusive standards. Using the good parts of
standards is already difficult.
- I don’t think that (currently) any other lossless codec would
have a good chance to be adopted in browsers, so there is (“maybe”)
a problem with real-world music streaming.
We'll see. The "real world" is controlled by commerce. We can
accept, adapt, propose alternatives, or do what we want when we can.
