Conrad was just saying that the way you described the ids was  
inconsistent. One column said read 8 chars, the other said compare  
with a string that might be less than eight characters.

It's supposed to be finalized though there many be some granulepos  
issues still in current implementations. I don't expect the BBCD\0  
magic to change.

OggMNG defines the following magics:

char[8]: "\211PNG\r\n\032\n" png
char[8]: "\212MNG\r\n\032\n" mng
char[8]: "\213JNG\r\n\032\n" jng

Are the 'Codecs Parameter' values from a different namespace from the  
media-types? Do we define a mapping where there is one, e.g. vorbis  
is audio/vorbis?

And there's OggY4M which uses char[9]: "YUV4MPEG2" but that's in no  
way finalized.
