I'm not saying apps shouldn't deal with it; apps should deal with anything
legal.  I'm only saying that i'd rather not have movie files or whatever
classified as audio/vorbis, and certainly not just because a file just
happens to have a vorbis stream as its first substream.

If a file is "normal" audio, it should be classified audio/something;
if it contains "normal" video (with or without audio), it should be video/something;
anything else should be application/ogg.

At least, that's my opinion.  Comments are welcome, as is pointing out the
flaws in my reasoning...

Dagdag,
