[vorbis-dev] RECORDNUMBER

[Per Wigren]

I still think the DATE tag MUST be standardized! It doesn't 
take ANY programminglanguage many lines of code to get a 
localized output of a ISO datestring. Oggenc should refuse 
dates not in YYYY-MM-DD format, because if it doesn't when 
1.0final is released (and we will get a LOT of more users), 
we will sit with an unfixable mess a few years from now!

Who is controlling the standard tags right now? Monty? The 
authors of oggenc/ogg123/vorbiscomment?
This must be WELL thought out before 1.0final!

I'm thinking about using DISCNUMBER instead of 
RECORDNUMBER.. What do you people think is the best one?
