Those fancy single page sites with lots of parallax effects and transformations often have 4-5 MB worth of PNGs. With JNG you can easily push it below 1 MB. (I tried this with several websites.)

To make matters worse, if you just support JNG and not all of MNG, you'd add maybe 5-10kB. The PNG and JPEG decoders do all of the heavy lifting. You'd just need a little bit of extra code for taking the file apart and splicing the channels together. All of the tricky stuff is already there.
