[vorbis-dev] application/ogg status update

[Silvia.Pfeiffer at csiro.au]

Hi Linus,

I'm just wondering how much further you got with writing the RFC on the
Ogg stream/file format (and of course the RFC on the application/ogg
MIME type).

I would like to offer my help in writing an RFC on the "Ogg media
encapsulation format" and in pursuing it with the IETF for
standardisation. We could e.g. write up a document in RFC-compliant
format (see RFC2629) rather quickly by using the "xml2rfc" tools
provided by IETF. 

I believe this effort is necessary and an excellent way to further the
publicity of Ogg and all the related media encoders. I'd be very happy
to get involved as I'd like to support the excellent efforts of this
community.

Cheers,

Silvia.
