Will the day come whereby I could place CR rendering instructions in a DNG

to have some standard for rendering which I doubt we'd see. I'm not sure
it's necessary.
So in 20 years time, when Gill Bates has bought out Abode, we will
have those old DNGs and the metadata in them but the ability to render
them will have been lost.
In other words, only the owner of the Abode software code will be able
to read old Abode files. And if they drop legacy support, or the old
code gets lost, nobody will be able to reproduce the old renderings.
I think there is exactly ONE alternative to proprietary. It is called
OPEN. Let all the actors including Nikon, Canon and our hypothetical
friend Abode publish ALL the rendering algorithms in their software.
And, yes, Apple too.
