Would completely defeat the purpose of making a new smaller file format if we prefix if with the old format.
That would have been a brilliant move with wav vs MP3
If you’re really saving 20% in file size with XL, adding back a very compressed preview image that takes up one or two percent isn’t going to cost you much.
