So if there is no sane system we should at least _try_ to invent one.
we? you want it, you would have to do all the work and maintain it until you find someone else to take over maintainership
until now noone has done any work toward a new id system so for me the case is closed, the system will be avi-fourcc based, if you want something else you can still invent and propose another system
before proposing another system please tell us what specific concrete problems will result from using avi-style fourcc.
noone will promisse that any of it will be used, decissions are made on technical terms, that was always the case
i'd still like to see any attempt at explaining how a new naming system can have a technical advantage.
when i, oded or rich suggested something and it turned out bad it was discarded too
not necessarily bad, sometimes just impractical/infeasible. rich
