But it's even better not to push OGG through a committee, but to make it the de-facto standard by just using it as much as possible and recommending Wikipedia readers to install a browser that supports it.
And like it or not we may happen to be stonger than micro$oft on this field since we may very possibly have more influence on the webizens around than them. If we push people to use free codecs (vorbis instead of mp3, theora or dirac instead of h.264 and mpeg4 and divx) the world may actually follow suit.
Not a decision which should be taken lightly.
