Why isn't it better to do a spec for ogg over RTP, rather than Vorbis
over RTP?  Why can't there just be one way to put ogg packets into RTP
packets, rather than write a separate RFC for each codec that someone
wants to stream over RTP?

Maybe there is a good reason this is not a smart idea, I'd like to hear
it.  :)

Best,
Oscar
