		+	Note that duplication of this information inside the text codec header and here is intentional, since the text codec can then be used also with other encapsulation formats. The additional exposure of this information in the skeleton header allows this information to be available without any text codec libraries (e.g. in a Web proxy).

-	Text codecs are sequences of text chunks that have a timing relationship to an audio or video stream. A text codec relates to data that is logically regarded as text, in particular data of content-type <tt>text/*</tt>, but is not restricted to these.

	A text codec should not contain binary data, in particular images. Where images are needed, they should be referenced. This can be done through a URL and thus having the image external to the media data. It could also be done by embedding the image inside the Ogg stream in a different track to the text codec.
