Maybe someone at Google or Microsoft would have an answer to that. I'm not aware of any Web browser that handles Tiff natively today, but the format is used in the print world, and likely to grow in the future (unfortunately, since TIFF is a mess). It's the most widely interchanged lossless multi-layer format other than (proprietary) psd -- something needed for printing in colour (typically CMYK layers). I'd be happy to encourage use of something else (MNG?) but there isn't really a substitute right now. BMP is default for Microsoft Paint, or used to be, and one still encounters them sometimes.
