It's well known around the Internet that to achieve compatibility you should 
be conservative in what you send and liberal in what you accept. Applied to 
JPEG: Use only Huffman coding when encoding â except maybe if you know that all 
recipients can handle arithmetic coding â but support both encodings when 
decoding.
