That makes it sound a bit as if a losslessly-re-encoded JPG file is not
a valid JXL file. Is that the case?

That's indeed a concern. For the other currently registered encodings,
you *can* apply them, but they do not necessarily help.

This one can't be applied to any file type. One way to address this
would be to tune the format that it *can* handle any file type (by just
adding a tiny wrapper around it and preserving the actual octet stream
within).
