yes, that allows possible future extension packets between
stream headers,
i dunno how important that is (i also dont remember if i had
any specific
uses in mind when i added this possibility...), if rich
wants then iam not
against removing this possibility (its no problem even now
with the frozen
spec as muxers arent allowed to inject reserved packets and
demuxers would
just have 1 requirement less)
then again theres no need to hurry with that, we can always
remove that
possibility later ...

In the past you could go to a library and read, borrow or
copy any book
Today you'd get arrested for mere telling someone where the
library is
