Yeah, I didn't mean to imply that ID3v2 is perfect by any means, but given the fact that they've engineered something that works with an audio spec completely out of their control while the Ogg folks had 100% control over both sides plus the integration and came up with something that's fairly mediocre in the real world (especially when it would have been so, so, easy to have resolved the biggest problem) puts the ID3v2 folks ahead in my book. Certainly they haven't done a worse job.

And the fact that developers don't follow the standard is hardly the fault of the standard except to say that the standard could have been less convoluted.
