I agree. For example, if we get to the stage of supporting FLAC inside
Ogg containers, then just saying "Ogg" isn't useful.

Which leads to the question of what short abbreviation you use for Ogg
Vorbis files?

And being very pedantic, "Ogg" should be written in proper case, and
FLAC should be in upper case - so the file extensions would normally be
wrong.

Dave.
