I've been wishing for years that all of these codecs with hybrid lossless/lossy modes would just add a single l to their file extensions, purely for the annoyance of it.

Like, you can do this individually, but it's not the same thing as actually having it in the standard.

Does the L stand for lossy, or lossless? Or large, as in this case?

See I would think lossless is the one you have to specify. (Also, it stops being "large" when you extend this gripe to similar formats like AVIF and WebP.)

One L for Lossy, two for LossLess.

Does the one at the end of .JXL count toward the total? Nobody knows what it stands for anyway.
