FWIW, Most people aren't even going to be able to see the difference in the
16bit/Component color as opposed to 8bit/C color. So, why not just post it
as a standard jpg and save people who may not be compatible with a lesser
known format.

I don't necessarily  think the posting of a standard JPG is nearly as bad as
posting a "4 colour GIF". People use a wide variety of OSes on these groups
(remember, POV-Ray is multi-platform), some may not have access to tools to
view a JPEG2000 file.
