As far as I am aware it is. At least EXIF was specifically designed to
be kept inside a JPEG format file, but I might be wrong. I mean ppl
stick id3 tags on everything that has music in it these days likewise.

I was never really fan of the jpeg=exif solution, because it extends the
jpeg useflag beyond it's specific purpose. But I'm more worried about
the earlier mentioned double meaning of a USE flag we get now by your
interpretation. This is something that should be avoided and I hoped you
could take that more serious, but i guess it's just me.
