Why not?  For the small set of metadata
elements you describe below, to me this still
looks like the way to go.

Several different technologies are discussed,
here.  You have previously mentioned XML
and XMP.  However, all but one of the above
elements are Dublin Core (DC).  DC can be
expressed in many languages, including XML;
visit:
http://dublincore.org/documents/dc-ds-xml/

I am now puzzled why you want to use XMP.

There is no standard for expressing DC in
Ogg, but it should be straightforward to define
one.  However, DC has very limited structure,
so such a standard would very likely use
separate VorbisComments.

Martin
