[theora-dev] Ogg questions

[Silvia.Pfeiffer at csiro.au]

Hi Arc,

thanks a lot for pointing out these errors (damned, the mix-up of tarkin
and VP3 slipped in there as well). I have corrected them as follows for
the next submission to IETF:

    Ogg Theora multiplexes a Vorbis-encoded audio
    bitstream and a VP3-encoded video bitstream in a single
    physical Ogg bitstream.

    I've deleted this part as it is not relevant to this standard and in
    fact introduces a dependency to a different specification which is
    better avoided.

<p>Thanks again,

Silvia.
