The omission of fixed seeking tables was a deliberate design decision to make Ogg suitable for streaming (most prominent features: Concatenating Ogg streams will result in a valid Ogg stream again). By the way, I was informed that Apple did not *license* VP3, they simply provide an automated download of a QT component to enable VP3 playback if a user encounters such content. Provided that Apple's <video> implementation most likely will be based on QuickTime - couldn't something similiar be done for Ogg Theora (there is an official QT component by Xiph.org)? I guess that may lessen the interlectual properties problems as another party is responsible for the component. Maik Merten
