Re: [Openexr-devel] Established deep data file extension?

For what it's worth, 'odz' has a fair bit of traction, as there's been quite a few folks working with these at Weta, and where the diaspora has taken them. While the notational convenience of '*xr' is attractive, my vote is 'odz' because it's already somewhat established.

I think this situation absolutely requires that a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part. And we're just the guys to do it.
