O.K. - You've got a point there. But I just wanted to point out that
advocacy for Vorbis should underline positive characteristics like "the
personal freedom to use the software unrestricted" with any data you like.

In the end hardware manufacturers will offer support for .ogg - at least
for the "better" players out there, which have no hardcoded mp3-circuitry
inside them. They will do it if there is demand.
