Sure.  I didn't suggest to add the the ID3 to the ogg.  I meant (but I
don't suggest :) adding the ID3 to the FLAC (which is presumably legal),
and wrapping them both in the ogg - the id3 is then inside the packets,
doesn't violate the Ogg and invisible to mostly any progam.  It sounds
like a thing that Ogg FLAC should support if the idea is indeed to simply
wrap any legal FLAC stream in Ogg (but I wouldn't support it if I were
FLAC's author - and I don't know whether he does).
