The lossless option can be used to force lossless compression
by disabling all lossy encodings like gradient or jpeg.

I think this should be reverse. Be lossless by default, but have a lossy option.

I agree.  I think we need to disable gradient by default.  Maybe we can 
trigger gradient too whenever jpeg is enabled by the client.
