Perhaps RDF,  as it's already a general framework for addressing metadata, 
serialized as XML (which is usually the case for RDF), and perhaps gziped, 
though it's not like the data will be so great compared to track size that 
this will be a problem (but you'd have to extract it from the ogg stream 
anyway, so why not, I suppose...)

However, seems a bit premature to start talking about technologies before 
discussing who wants what kind of metadata and why.
