[vorbis] Vorbis 1.0 before the end of the year?

[Mark Hetherington]

Sorry, I understood that, but my point was more that it be called "1.0" so 
that manufacturers waiting for 1.0 can say "Right there's a 1.0 decoder, so 
now we can use that in our product". The "1.0" thing is a psychological 
milestone for many end users. I'm assuming that it's probably best to keep 
the encoder and decoder versions the same, and that it's also too late to 
change it now anyway. 
Again I apologise that I didn't word my message well.
