Or maybe a primary metadata format, since we don't have a metadata
format right now.  Vorbis is flexible enough we could have multiple
metadata formats, and put each in its own stream.  I recall bringing up
the Dublincore project as a potential metadata format on IRC a few
months ago.

A tag editor is fairly easy to write.  I suspect writing a good
metadata editor is a bit harder.  Maybe thats why the discussion has
languished till now.  I look forward to the time when a metadata format
does get standardized and support for it becomes common.

Cheers!
