That was me.
I am OK with that as long as we are clear that we don't follow FFmpeg list.

If we don't follow FFmpeg list, what is the purpose of  value 3 and why 
unspecified is 2 rather than 0?
Using FFmpeg list (which is based on MPEG list, with same oddities) is 
not bad, and I am not against it, just wondering if it is good to take 
the same oddities rather than a clean list without oddities.

Does anyone plan to transfer from DPX? If yes, we may need to add now 
missing elements in the list (e.g. "Printing density") but I am not 
expert enough for know which one is worth it.

I am more, as some other people, for something more generic, e.g. 
ChromaSubsamplingHorz and ChromaSubsamplingVert, with a value of the 
subsampling (0 unspecified and default). I am afraid that someone crazy 
used e.g. a vertical subsampling of 4 (which can not be defined by X:X:X 
values), it is possible (and I have a file like that if I remember well) 
with FFV1.

Same remark as with Matrix.
