How about changing the OggDrop bitarte menu to set the maximum instead of
the average.  This would also solve the problem of all people looking for
128 automatically - they would get smaller files!  It should be combined
of course with encouragement to use qaulity (like the great dialog
somewone suggested that puts bitrate selection under "disable quality
management" (I would say "optimisation" instead)).
