My point exactly. The nautilus folks asked for a mime-magic way to tell 
'audio' from 'video' and 'other' ogg files. Specifying that the vorbis 
header page must be first in the audio/vorbis case--even after we have 
multitrack ogg files--nicely solves that issue.

Perhaps it's time to start treating that one as decided. :-)
