But the spec could still *encourage* Ogg support while acknowledging there may be reasons not to have it. Saying all implementations *should* support Ogg Theora and Vorbis acknowledges that there "may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore a particular item, but the full implications must be understood and carefully weighed before choosing a different course". This seems like a perfectly reasonable response to me.
