To developers: What do you think about expanding official GStreamer tag list
with new GST_TAG_* definitions?

There aren't that many tag systems in the world (id3*, Matroska, Ogg Comments,
APE, MOV/MP4 - that's about all, i think?). Creating GStreamer counterparts for
each tag in these systems (that isn't already defined) would increase the
number of tags significantly (possibly up to 100-200), but it's still a finite
number.

Some tags might be viewed as being too elaborately detailed, and can be
replaced with generic versions (say, "SCRIPT_BY", "DIRECTOR", "EDITED_BY" and
other Matroska tags can be replaced with a single generic "CONTRIBUTOR" tag
that will hold multiple values). If that is done, the number of new tags will
drop dramatically.
