SPZ claims ~10x smaller files, Spark reads multiple formats, and Khronos has ratified a glTF splat extension. What is the actual size/quality/loading-time trade-off and engine support matrix?

Why this is still open: Size and quality figures are upstream claims; no comparative measurement or support matrix was found.
