You have definitely picked a hard one. I am a professional producer and remixer (in LA) and I sometimes send files over e-mail to another producer and A&R guy (Sony) in Japan. What we do (since we both have StudioVisionPro and Protools) is use mpeg encoders to encode the file into a MP3 format, then use the MPeg decoders and expand them back into (it gives you a choice of AIFF, SDII, etc.) regular files to import back into ProTools, or whatever. I also heard that several companies might have plug-ins available soon. Bias, and Steinberg might be some good places to check. Good luck on keeping the quality, especially at 24 bit though! A word to the wise, never try and compress pro audio whenever possible, you never know what can happen, treat them like your baby!
