a) This is fiction. Be happy if you get .ogg files that contain tags at
all.
b) Who cares? You look at and search for tag contents, who cares how
they're labelled? If you see MUSIC_DUDE, you know two important things:
Who was the music dude that made this thing, and the person who encoded
and tagged the file is a bit weird.

ID3v1's problem is not the simplicity but it's restrictiveness.
Restrictions is what you imported into the proposal ... sounds like
ID3v3 to me.
