The spec does not seem to state so. I will wait to have a sample where that
makes a difference to see if there is anything to do.

I will wait to have a sample where this is relevant.

This has nothing to do with the scope of this patch.

There is something there indeed. As a lightweight change, I can think of
this: use namespace prefixes: lavf.segment_uid (like lavfi.ebur128).
