Review Comment:
   I was talking about something slightly different.
   
   Lets say you have event E which had 3 versions (lets say backward 
compatible), lets say that you have two codecs C1 and C2 each of which can 
encode E, C1 can encode in version 2, C2 can encode version 3. if you do not 
have codec priority, just by naming things, C1 could encode E even when C2 has 
latest version, so your encoding process will remove peace of information 
unnecessary. 
   
   so someone should make decision who to go first,  and  they should be able 
to say which one has precedence
