  Hi Guys & Gals,

I need you guys to decide whether we want to include extra granulepos 
fields to Skeleton 4. Given the underwhelming discussion regarding this, 
I'm guessing the need and/or desire for these fields isn't really there.

Firefox 4 betas are fast approaching, and if we're to include OggIndex 
support (and we want OggIndex support!) we need the Skeleton 4 format 
nailed down... So... I suggest we don't bother adding these extra 
granulepos related fields the Skeleton 4, and if the need and/or desire 
for these fields becomes clear in future we can add these fields to the 
fisbone packets in a Skeleton 4.x revision instead. The fisbone packet 
has a message-header-offset field specifically to allow such fields to 
be added in a backwards compatible way.

Does that sound a reasonable approach?


All the best,
Chris P.
