Oh, I do have questions, alright.

For instance, your examples include the full name of the codecs, and
RFC4281 seems to point that they can only be a four letters code.
Mostly due to the whole document being MPEG-centric.

On the other hands, a small paragraph seems to point that "non-ISO"
codecs can do their own thing, so in theory we could use the full
name.  But I'm not sure.  The document really was written with MPEG
stuff in mind, not other codecs, so it's pretty vague on what others
should do.

If nobody cares, I think full codec name is a-okay.

There's also the matter if this goes on Required Parameters or
Optional Parameters.  I vote for Optional.  Required is pretty
extreme.

Also, I want to confirm if it isn't just me that thinks Skeleton does
_not_ need to be listed as a codec.  It's an Ogg extension disguised
as codec, and applications that support Ogg should support Skeleton,
which means it's pretty redundant to have it listed under "codecs".
