I'd say that too - there really should be an *official* solution for the
albumart issue out now, which should then also be documented at
http://xiph.org/vorbis/doc/v-comment.html
This certainly would be a step in the right direction. New or existing software
and hardware players are going to support this anyway as soon as it's
officially documented.
