If you look closely, he called his site archaic, not the file format. If I had to wager a guess, when making the site he thought PNG was a good idea originally, because it is 99% of the time. However, the archaic thing about it is that his site will not support showing this one strip as a jpeg, or (I'm guessing) a higher quality PNG. Although, perhaps you should take this anger elsewhere? I don't really think this is something to get so worked up about.

Will lossless 24 bit .PNG work with the backend? Does it just look at file extensions?

I don't see why it shouldn't. This site runs on PHP, so it's probably only checking extensions and MIME types - so no, file format details shouldn't make a difference.

Jeph, I beg you. Please don't use JPEGs for your artwork. Your art has gotten very nice to look at and I would love to enjoy it without compression artifacts.

PNG is capable of the same color depth as JPEG images. No reason to update the site code - keep on doin' what you're doin', man. Peace.
