[Advocacy] Vorbis and Theora Required MIME Types for SMIL 3.0 WD

[Ivo Emanuel Gonçalves]

These are great news.  Unfortunately they put the old MIME type
application/ogg.  As of recently, we (Xiph) decided [1] to go with
video/ogg and audio/ogg+vorbis.

Hope they won't mind changing the spec in the future.  One annoying
thing about W3C is that they rather leave bugs, issues, or errors in
released specs instead of fixing them (see for instance XHTML 1.1 not
allowing id in style element).

Anyhow, great news.  This will push more browsers to adopt our
formats, making them work with <audio> and <video>, as well.  It's a
battle against time, really, because Apple (and probably Microsoft)
are against adopting our formats for their browser(s).  And if they
bring MPEG 4 (or WMV) video/audio support before Firefox, Opera, or
Konqueror do it, we shall see web designers pushing for proprietary
formats, instead.
