- Chris: people can extend their modality. Certainly losing some metadata at the moment. Harder for the client which has to guess
- Josh: multiple napari threads. Each layer == 1 color map. Want to attach metadata. Introducing some form of object model. Similar question for Zarr i.e. introduce some layer concept?
- Similar problems with original file formats e.g. YCbCr etc
