Posted within the last 3 hours on the OpenRaw.org webpage...  however 
it was not noted where or just when Mr. Westfall made this comment.


"Canon Consumer Imaging Group Director Chuck Westfall presented the 
camera vendor perspective. Mr. Westfall compared two possible 
solutions for raw data; proprietary and open standards. While making 
it clear that Canon intended to keep its RAW data recording methods 
proprietary, Mr. Westfall stated that Adobe's DNG file format has 
excellent features for archival storage and added that Canon might 
consider the possibility of adding DNG support in future versions of 
RAW image conversion software."

The operative word here, is "might"... but it shows that Adobe's .dng 
format is gaining support.
