There's a big difference here. No successful fractal compression
algoithm exist. There surely is a great potential here, but no
algorithm for effectively turning an image into a set of fractal
functions.
JPEG2000 however uses well known algorithms, and an implementation
already exists. It's written in Java, so you could have
JPEG2000 images in your browser today.
