Ogg is designed for an nominal page size of 4-8 kB (libogg will use
pages of just over 4 kB usually), so the 4-8 kB figure refers to
nominal _page_ size. For latency reasons, constraining this to a
reasonably low figure (rather than the 64 kB maximum, or close to that)
is reasonably important, so this should stay (after being corrected,
of course). 

The packet size figure as given (50-200 bytes) is also correct, but not
as important, since this is a design justification rather than a
recommendation for usage.
