<p>I think so. Anything else will make users think in

<p>Ogg is designed so that files can be post-processed
to reduce the bitrate without needing to decompress
and recompress again. This is called "peeling"

The tools aren't written yet, but the design is there.
I imagine that streaming people can peel their files
to limit bitrates for broadcast use, maybe even in
real time.

<p>I think so.
