Just my investiguations : look in recent Exiftool source code, it support Exif 
extraction from JPEG 2000.

Also, i'm looking to support in native PSD file format in digiKam (photoshop) 
witch support EXIF, IPTC and XMP. This one is very used by photograph, and 
i'm sure that it will be very important to give an Exiv2 support it in the 
future. Your viewpoint ?
