::sigh::

From the ogg RFC (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3534.txt) in question:

  Status of this Memo
  
     This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
     Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
     improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
     Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
     and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

It's a standards TRACK (read like tenure track, as in not yet a
standard) protocol, and the document requests discussion and
suggestions.

It's NOT a standard. The text gets changed when the IETF approves
the thing. I don't even think the IETF has had a meeting any time in
May 2003, so it wouldn't be POSSIBLE for it to be approved.
