I cant speak about NHW (as i have not looked at it yet) or for IETF
but somewhat on topic and related, if you are interrested in
working on a IETF "standarized" video codec". As the author of the
original FFV1 spec. I and i belive "we" at IETF cellar would be very interrested
in seeing work done to improve future iterations of FFV1. And while
FFV1 is not a wavelet codec really i think there are no real constraints
of what a future v5, v6 or whatever might do, it could use a completely
different algorithm if the people on IETF-cellar feel thats the right
way forward.
I had always imagined long before cellar-IETF existed that future revissions
of FFV1 would be designed based on some sort of competition between 
different algorithms being tested with the aim being simplicity, 
high compression, speed and losslessness.
Also image coding and intra only coded video are very closely related,
its basically almost the same problem.

Thanks
