Oop, I better comment before too many people pile on.

The Ogg bitstream format is meant for embedding raw packets into an otherwise 
unframed bitstreams (like a file) and thus provides capture, timebase, 
ordering, packet boundaries, CRC, etc...

RTP provides just about everything the ogg bitstream does (except timebase).
The RTP payload would mostly or entirely be the raw Vorbis packets that would
normally be framed by Ogg (with RTSP, timebase is still needed, but not for the
same reason it is in Ogg).  Vorbis packets stand alone, so that also simplifies
things (over, say, mp3).  We've intended for a long time to use not only RTP
but RTSP as well.

So, there's a little bit to do to specify RTP, but not very much.  Submitting 
such a standard would mostly be work in documenting the ogg packets themselves.

Hrm, well, that may be alot of documentation to write in 2 1/2 weeks...
