  A barcode in jpeg format? Jpeg would be approximately the worst possible
format you could *ever* choose for a 2-color image which has thin vertical
bars of random width.

  (Besides, there would be no size advantage whatsoever. On the contrary.
A jpeg of sufficient quality will most probably be at least a hundred times
larger than an optimized png. At least.)
