I'm not sure what the argument is there, other than mime types are hard 
to get registered, and this is a general problem with container file 
types that should be solved generally.

Nautilus uses audio/x-vorbis+ogg and video/x-theora+ogg internally, in 
analogy with things like application/rss+xml. Do you know if the '+' 
thing is a real proposal or just an experimental convention? Konqueror 
does something similar.

For the particular problem of automatic player choice, something like 
the RSS content dispotion hinting proposal is probably a better match,
where your media type becomes "application/ogg; disposition-type=sound"
or "application/ogg; disposition-type=moving-image". The types are
drawn from the Dublic Core set instead of MIME.
