So if we don't *need* to decide on it right now, why exactly was it ok to go from the original "Ogg required", to the later "Codec open, but discussed" to today's "Not discussed at all"? I think we are all in agreement that a final decision will not be made right now; my understanding is that Shelley objects to the rules Ian cited to support the previous changes (and I happen to agree with that). And yes, whether a formal objection makes sense here is a separate question. BR, Julian
