We also need a set of predefined profiles. Otherwise the amount of stuff 
possible in matroska is infinite, as opposed to DVDs, DivX, MP4 where 
there is a strict set of waht can be put in there.

It's impossible for a manufacturer to support an "ever growing" set of 
codec or features. So we are going to work on defining such profiles 
that manufacturers could support and that user could use as "encoding 
targets". Basically what most people already use now.
