Jan,
you are fully right of course. What I meant to say is that
MPEG-4 will specify a file format that has added functionality,
in the sense that it is much more than a stored representation
of the elementary streams. The 'MPEG file' that was referred to
was not an MPEG standardized format - that was my message.
