Expect for the "Copyright" tag, which is printed without ":"
at the end, in order to make a neat (and useles imho) effect
like "Copyright 2002, MusicCorp" instead of
"Copyright: 2002, MusicCorp".

I'm all for leaving all the tags as they have been written in
the Ogg, adding ": " and the value of the tag. It incombs to
the author of the tags to write them in a sensible way, or in
the most hackerish way if so he wishes (cOpYrIgHt: n0 waY dUdE).

As for the issue of mispelled tags, perhaps we could simply
prefix the recognized tags with "* " or "+ " and the others
with "  "? Or leave it as an option somewhere?
