BigTIFF
BigTIFF is a modified version of TIFF which has 64-bit offsets, allowing larger files. A project to implement it in LibTiff now has the sponsors needed to get the work done. Work in LibTiff 4.0, which will support BigTIFF, is planned to start in March.
The proposal -- and its creators stress that it's still a proposal, not a settled specification -- can be found here.
