You missed a pretty major one, pure voice ala talk radio.  One person,
two people, etc.  Also it'd be nice if more techno was included (Daft
Punk barely fits) as well as prehaps an Enya sample (techno + heavy
vocals).

Overall, I think Vorbis did damned well, and considering that both
MP3Pro and AAC are heavily patented the choice is pretty clear.
