I dunno if it really solves problems that many people have. I mean, yes, 
if you're in the scanned document archiving business, it might be

The only application I can think of where DjVu would be perfect is 
online comic delivery -- high resolution lettering over lower resolution 
colour artwork. I'm actually working with that concept with a friend 
right now ...

I'm sure it would be okay for the purposes of this transcription project 
amongst a limited audience.
