TIFF is, so far as I know, still a standard format for high quality
photo transfer.

RAW is not a specific format -- Canon, alone, has had TWO formats
that are considered "RAW" (.CRW, and the newer .CR2). Notice the lag
with Adobe Camera RAW as they have to reverse engineer the format
whenever a new camera model is released (the format may not have
changed, but some meta-data may be new).
Expecting a volunteer development to spend time keeping up with, and
reverse-engineering, each manufacturer's RAW format is, to my mind,
asking for a bit much.
I'd not heard of an "HDR" format before... Most software I know of
expects to get two or more /regular/ images as input, and THEN process
to create an HDR -- tone mapping being part of that processing.
