Um, the Ogg Tag Recommendations aren't as strict as you seem to think.
They allow you to omit any tag you don't like, and use any non-standard
tag that you do like.  The recommendations just say "if you use these
few standard tags, this is what other users of the recommendations will
expect them to mean."
