I feel that these ‘Vorbis comments’ are not sufficient. There is not even a 
standard for their field names. This XML based format is just meant to push 
for development of ANY metadata format.

It is not? Hm.... I never given it a though. I see ‘OGG’ everywhere. Look in 
Wikipedia, for instance. Though the article there uses both forms.

I do not know what MIMEs is being used in Ogg. As I have understood it, 
there is only application/ogg.

Anyone that have seen my suggested format will have noticed that I have no 
idea how to address the various formats. I have assumed it should be 
possible by using MIMEs and URIs. Please advise.
