I think this thread is highlighting is why having an open codec is
important.  There are lots of features important to different users. 
Trying to implement all of them would be very difficult and perhaps even
contradictory.  However, groups who want these features are welcome to
fork the code and add them themselves.  (Forking is not always bad.) 
Generally useful features can possibly be rolled into future releases.

Now is a great time for third-party people to jump on the code and
tailor it for various uses.  (Or if you would like, I'm sure the people
at Xiph.org would be happy to do contract work customizing Vorbis for
your particular requirements.)
