That's like using the space shuttle to run errands down the block,
rather than buying a decent pair of shoes.  It doesn't work as well as
you think it does.

Folks are arguing about two different things and mistaking it for the
same thing.  XML people who want complete information are arguing
about metadata.  The rest of us are arguing about Vorbis comment
fields.
