I don't think that's the point here.  If some MP3 zealot want to hack his oggs to tarnish the vorbis 
image, there's no way we can help that.  :P  But we don't want to shoot ourselves in the foot by 
setting forth a standard that's vulnerable to poorly written tagging tools, encoder front-ends, 
players, and generally ignorant (but not malicious) users.
