			==Possible additions restrictions trap==

			Please don't restrict your codec from having more than 256 colors in a bitmap.
			Applications can do it anyway and didn't these codecs where to create freedom in the first place?
			There is nothing wrong with allowing these things and MNG in overlays.
			OggSpots is meant for having a timed image track, not for image overlays.
			OggKate isn't duplicating because it just isn't in the same scope.
			High quality images in OggSpots will look very weird with 256 low-quality images overlays.
			It probably won't look good.

			Please do allow the embedding of shared data (fonts).
			That's a fantastic idea you've got there, don't let it slide.
			It would be great to be able to make a font, add it to the file and use it for subtitle's.
			It would solve the platform dependency issue with fonts, which is currently a big deal.
			(There would even be more freedom added to your codec, this way.)

			Please add support for svgfonts.
			They have the same advantages for fonts as svg has for images.
			It's vector based which means very good looking fonts.

			What is your opinion about svgfonts?
