Hello,

You are in the wrong list.  This should have been posted into vorbis-dev.

Regardless, I feel that this request is unwise.  You yourself even
provided the reason:

> It only would be a problem for existing software which isn't aware of this and which would try to display the binary data as text...

We take backwards-compatibility pretty seriously at Xiph.  If we
didn't, we would have even less success with our formats.

You should be looking into XSPF, though.  It's another project of
Xiph, and it can do what you are looking for, albeit not in the way
you were expecting.

-Ivo
