Such kind of problem is exactly what requires a higher perspective
to be solved.
And that particular problem is created by yourself, the JPEG committee,
by adding confusion and introducing mistakes.
With more understanding you would see that in reality this problem
does not exist - there is already a perfect standard digital image
format, which only needs to be further developed in the right
direction.  IJG has this important statement in the README file:

  In any case, our decoder will remain capable of reading existing
  JPEG image files indefinitely.

So we are committed to retain compatibility for all times.
But everything what the JPEG committee did works against this
promise, by introducing one incompatible mistake after another.
Don't you see that?  And from your statements it appears that
you are not going to stop this insane game.
So you create problems everywhere (of course, you say the blocks
are the problem, so you must find something different, etc. etc.),
and then you complain about the created confusion.
This is exactly the way how the unconscious mind works: It can
only create more problems, not solve anything.  The only way to
get out of this vicious circle is to gain consciousness - and
unfortunately you have no methods to do that, you have never
learned that.
With more understanding you would see a simple solution:
My understanding tells me that everything can be achieved by the
proper further development of the original JPEG technology.

And by the way, the RAW formats are crap anyway, as mentioned,
except those from Sigma/Foveon cameras (.X3F).  One could look
there if these could be replaced by a potential JPEG update.
So the situation is simple with appropriate understanding.
