Does any program other than mkvmerge actually use this element? I mean
KaxTagDefault with 4484. If not I'd suggest changing the specs and not
the library. I don't mean demuxers but muxers. If there are only files
created by mkvmerge out there with 0x4484 as KaxTagDefault's ID then
invalidating those files might not be the best idea.
