[theora] theora and xml

[Silvia Pfeiffer]

Ok, there are many organisations that are wanting to use different
kinds of rights description languages.

But it's the software around it that is important.

If there is only software to work with the xml files, then why throw
it into a ogg file?
You could as well distribute the xml and the ogg file separately with
the xml file pointing at the ogg file.
All existing tools deal with that. Packaging might be as simple as a tarfile.

I'm asking from the point of view of having tried putting metadata
into binary media files and having spoken with e.g. Adobe about this
and hearing everywhere that it's a lot easier to keep the xml files
and the binary media files separate. For example, the workflow
processes can all deal much easier with this - and programs have no
problem with these either.

Cheers,
Silvia.
