Heh, fun consequence I just realized is that, in theory, you don't even have to wait for video-based still formats to be standardized and deployed if you're willing to play some games with single-frame videos.
So, like, h.264-based "images" can be shown in most browsers now, and VP9-based in many (but not Safari or IE). And you can fake AV1 images as soon as you get AV1 video.
Using video decoding in an odd way like that probably isn't especially practical or wise, but fun that the capability's there/reachable.
