I'm not discussing this any more. Sorry.

BTW: A few years ago there has already been exactly the same situation. mkvmerge switched to not writing the default values, users complained, I switched back. Obviously nothing changed on the playback side, so I'm upping the pressure on the others a bit now. I don't believe in "compatibility above everything else". With other specs people are very quick to blame the readers if they don't comply, while with Matroska everyone expects the muxers to circumvent bugs in the players. I want that to change.
