No, it wasn't premature.  We have been having this discussion since
last year.  We are contacting the projects that deal, for instance,
with Ogg FLAC, we're gong to submit the memo with the new file
extensions/media types to the IETF soon, and some of us are even
writing patches to the different projects out there.

If you actually want to help, you should either contact the developer
team of those projects, either directly or by opening a ticket on
their bug tracker, or the better solution yet: write a patch.

The quicker the transition problems are solved the better it will be
for everyone.

How is this a work around?  It seems to cause more problems than what it solves.
