No, no change...  About five more minutes of thinking past this
original message made it clear that things were indeed well defined to
be MSb-first and that Ogg will need to have that support eventually
anyway... no time like the present to add it.  It will make other
aspects of life easier.

Yes.  The Ogg bitpacking calls look just like the VP3 bitpacker, it
just handles more on its own in the background.  The change will be
easy and not affect bitstream.
