Apparently, the values of the enum are used encode and decode
standardized values in standardized formats like MPEG.

I think this is a terrible design decision, and I would like to suggest
to change it before it is too late.

It will lead to all kinds of trouble if we want to support primaries
from other standards with conflicting values, or if the standards
introduce huge gaps in their allocated values.

The correct way of dealing with that kind of situation is the same as
what we have always done for 4CCs: have tables (or other kinds of
conversion functions) matching the value of the enum in our API with the
value for a corresponding standard. The name of the table must include
the name of the standard.

Regards,
