<h2>Comment use rationale</h2>
-
The comment field is meant to be used much like someone jotting a
quick note on the bottom of a CDR. It should be a little information to
remember the disc by and explain it to others; a short, to-the-point
is not null terminated. In addition to the vector list, there is a
single vector for vendor name (also 8 bit clean, length encoded in 32
bits). Libvorbis currently sets the vendor string to "Xiphophorus
-libVorbis I 20000508".<p>
+libVorbis I 20010119".<p>
The comment vectors are structured similarly to a UNIX environment.
That is, comment fields consist of a field name and a field value and
