Maybe the byte order should be specified ? big or little endian ?

Storing vorbis in matroska uses the "A_VORBIS" long codec id, which
don't match with the proposed "vorbis" long id.
Is there a solution to this ?
Should the matroska spec be improved to add support for "vorbis",
or should this spec be relaxed to accept "A_VORBIS" ?
