I've not encoded many files to ogg yet, but I imagine that this tag is 
something I'd have used a lot (especially with live tracks, and 
occasionally with remixes).  Personally I prefer a TITLE/VERSION setup to 
one where all the info appears in TITLE.

I'd be interested to hear the reasoning behind this tag's deprecation -- 
the archived thread from early October doesn't seem to go into it.  Also, 
will deprecation ultimately mean that players won't support it as a 
standard tag?  Will it have any repurcussions at all for files encoded by 
people who thought it was a good idea?

In the absence of an argument to convince me that lumping everything into 
TITLE is a good idea, consider this a vote against VERSION's deprecation 
:-)

Cheers,
Steve
