What about Meta-Data? Like with audio files, meta data can be very useful to
have. I have two proposals for this:

Hence the image format describes the exact size of image data, the meta data
could simple be attached. If the format looks like:

imgFormat[4]Width[8]Height[8]Data[W×H]Metadata

e.g.:

imgRGBA 1600 900[…data…]foo:bar;quux:baz;greeting:"hello world";

Another way would be to have an additional meta data file. It could be packed in
a TAR file together with the image data. This leads to a file like
example.image.tgz
