 From what I've gathered, both when I asked about a year or two ago, and 
from reading other threads on the subject, there is still a desire for a 
complete ogg metadata format, but it has not been done yet basically 
because nobody has, well, done it yet. :) From what I understand, the 
metadata format should be able to describe most everything related to 
media, for it to be adopted by xiph. I'm sure, though, they know their 
standpoint than I am.
You're correct about the comments, though. They won't change 
"officially". Something about them being just something you scribble on 
a CD-R... not that it makes much sense to me.
