This is where we'd like to know what you (or someone else) thinks we
need. Please please tho don't make it about codec id! We already have
someone tentatively lined up to do essentially what I proposed in my

We're working on it. At least one thing in nut.txt was already changed
based on what you found unclear, but we need to know what's unclear.

obvious. :)
