Hi, in a follow up mail with Conrad, I was wondering whether Language-Category would be conflicting with any "standard" namespace, and he suggested I ask on ogg-dev, where people (*cough* Silvia *cough) might have a better view of how to use those. He mentioned the possibility of using X-Language-Category as well. Essentially, I'm not sure if the choice for those fields has any impact on anything using Skeleton, since this might find its way into a fisbone. Cheers
What is Language-Category being used for? Conrad mentioned HTTP headers, which is where the naming scheme for Skeleton came from. Is there any fields in the HTTP headers that would be more appropriately named for your needs? Also, the "X-" naming will make it really safe, because you can choose those at will. The others are more "standard"... Cheers, Silvia.

> What is Language-Category being used for? Conrad mentioned HTTPFor the category, which is a short text string describing the type of content in a stream. For the moment, the only ones I use are "subtitles" and "spu-subtitles", but you would also have things like "transcript", "commentary", etc. It's meant as a way for a player to display those to the user when selecting a stream (eg, you'd have "English subtitles" in a menu or similar). That string is not supposed to be localized, but taken from a number of well known strings so a player "knows" what a particular stream is meant to be, semantically.> headers, which is where the naming scheme for Skeleton came from.
