This argument has met with rational responses in previous threads.
If you're interested in the origin of the current language, please
review those earlier discussions.
I'll try to find those, and thanks for the feedback.

Before this thread gets too steamy again, I should probably point out
that the current language is almost a placeholder. We'd like a
mandate, not a recommendation, and the ogg/v/t is an uneasy
compromise. The w3c staff are, I believe, looking into this whole
area, particularly with respect to IPR and licensing. The engineers,
should, of course, work out what is best from a functionality point
of view, but the position is heavily influenced by IPR and risk
considerations as well. The upcoming w3c workshop might shed some
light...
