Can encoding schemes other than ISO 8211 be used with SDTS?

SDTS was structured in such a way to permit alternate encoding schemes. Currently, the Standard only includes an ISO 8211 encoding scheme. If necessary, alternate encoding schemes could be added to the base standard or by Profiles. The first profile to permit alternate coding formats is the SDTS Raster Profile and Extensions (SRPE). The SRPE permits BIFF, TIFF, JFIF, and JPEG to be used to encode an image rather than using ISO 8211.
