Hi, http://www.vorbis.com/faq/#mean points to http://www.xiph.org/xiphname.html, which is dead. The actual content is at http://www.xiph.org/xiphname.shtml The Xiph names page seems to be in UTF-8, but its meta tag mentions ISO 8859-15, which can cause problems with raw characters for the pronunciations. I propose the use of the International Phonetic Alphabet. How about [?g]/[?g] for Ogg and [v?rb?s] for Vorbis? Cheers, Kyungjoon Lee

([ksif] is perfectly valid IPA.) IMHO it would be nice to get these changes applied to the page. However, I wonder why sound files demonstrating the pronunciations aren't hosted anywhere. I think a short Vorbis or Speex sample would be nice as well. Cheers, Kyungjoon Lee

I've changed the header to indicate UTF-8. Since it's included site-wide this may have broken other pages.> I propose the use of the International Phonetic Alphabet. How about > [??g]/[??g] for Ogg and [v??rb??s] for Vorbis?Sounds good to me. Can you maybe send a patch, since my mailer mangled the IPA? -r
