Vorbis dev - Aug 2002 - application/ogg status update

There was an objection at the IETF working group meeting regarding
passing the MIME type application/ogg as a proposed internet standard.

The objection was that Ogg streams are not documented in an RFC. I have
been told that a reference implementation should be enough, but also
said that I am prepared to write up an RFC for the Ogg stream if that is
what it takes. (After all it is simple and several implementations
exists.)

Earlier I was against this as the Ogg stream was in a state of flux, but
with v1.0 and all I think it's OK to do an RFC of it.

Please give me pointers to all available "libogg-like" implementations
you know if you want to give me a hand in this. I heard there was an
implementation in Java, for example.

I have written an RFC for the application/ogg MIME type, so to support
this I might have to write an RFC for the Ogg stream/file format. I yet
don't know if I have to do that though, as my aim was primarily to get the
mimetype registered.

There is a definition for audio/vorbis that will be common for both RTP
streamed "raw" vorbis and Ogg-packaged vorbis. However it is not yet
finished, some guy in Finland is working with it.

Noone has thought about video/theora (as I think it should be named) and
with the extreme complexity that has surrounded the RTP version of Vorbis
I really don't know which way to go with that. Any suggestions?
