Well I am not sure about your last assertion, why are you so convinced 
? Do you have time to spent ? If so I believe that (for once) gdcm HAS 
the right approach ! Indeed we are using std::ofstream (instead of 
stpid FILE*) and therefore one only need to subclass a std::ofstream to 
serialize it. For example you would have a netwrokstream::read() that 
would connect to a server and read the data from the server. But from 
gdcm point of view it only execute a call to ::read()

For the jpeg2000 this is way beyond my expertise, try on jasper mailing 
list
