I don't think Ian removed the SHOULD solely because of the specific request to remove it, but rather because it does not represent a consensus on a baseline codec and is unhelpful to finding a consensus. In particular, it does not appear that presence or absence of the SHOULD clause would have any effect on any vendor's decision to implement Ogg, in the present environment. I think this reasoning is valid and I don't see how putting the clause back would help anything. What would help is participating in the W3C's codec evaluation and research efforts (which I believe are getting underway as a result of the video workshop). Regards, Maciej
