I see.

I'd like to remove them for sake of simplicity and because I don't see 
any usage that couldn't be covered in other ways (if somebody know 
speaks now, please).

I'll try something. Packing everything together is consistent with the 
other non ogg usage of vorbis (matroska and ffmpeg families). Resending 
everything just to change the comment informations is pretty overkill, 
but updating the comment with the codebook and setup makes sense.
