Further, from scanning some forum/list discussions from a few years ago, the thinking or motivation seems to be benefits for implementers having docs to make building a FLAC decoder easier. Which indirectly benefits users with good implementations. And then for long term storage/archival having the standard defined in an open/official document helps ensure it won't fade into oblivion. Or succumb to implementations that are incompatible with future hardware etc. Protected by the IETF as it were. I suppose MP3 went thru similar steps many moons ago. The CELLAR group's charter is like a broad vision rather than a specific internet format scope. https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/cellar/about/ |
