IIRC, normal JPEG actually does indeed not only quantitize the samples but
can also set some of them strictly to zero. I.e., all you need to do is
quantitize with sufficiently coarse resolution such that every possible
value falls into the same "zero" bucket and bob's your uncle.

Yes, that's true. But quantinising is strictly more general than just
discarding points.
