A vote of who? I admit to not having read up all about the Xiph
organization and how it makes decisions; I've always assumed that
anything anyone wanted to say was no more than advisory, and that final
decisions would be made by Jack and Monty as they saw fit, regardless of
votes or anything else. Is there a Constitution somewhere that says that
votes taken on the mailing list are binding on the development team? I
would be rather surprised if that were so.

What really rubs me the wrong way about you is the immense
self-importance that seems to infect most of your messages. You seem to
think that you have the authority to dictate standards to the people who
have done all the real work (and, to be clear, I'm not including myself
in that group -- my interest in Vorbis is purely as an end-user), and
that you are authorized to represent the entire class of classical music
listeners who might use Vorbis someday. It's all a load of crap, as far
as I'm concerned. I have no respect for it and I'm not afraid to let
that show.
