This looks nice, but it will require special decoders/players to work.
LAME tag is just trying to avoid some mp3 limitations. Like this one:

S> + a way to decode them exact in length, unit 1 sample

This is possible, but as I said it will require special decoders that
can read this tag.
Vorbis, for example, doesn't need to do this since this has been fixed
during the design of Ogg Vorbis. Also, OGG bitstream can offer
metadata streams which will be able to do much more...
