"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC 2119][].
**Note:** Out of the features mentioned above, lossy compression, lossless
compression and transparency are finalized and are to be considered stable.
On the other hand, metadata, color profile, animation and image fragmentation
are experimental as of now, and are open to discussion, feedback and comments.
The same is indicated using annotation "_status: experimental_" in the relevant
sections of this document.
