I'm not sure if I understood Tom's comment as it was intended, but I
see a valid point here:

In every section 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 there are notes about storing the
tags as UTF-8 and subsections about storing the tag in ID3 and Vorbis
Comments. Since those rules should apply for all tags it would be good
to extract them into a separate Implementation section. This would
make it easier to extend it to other tagging formats.

Otherwise good work on the specification so far. I've a few points I
want to address, but I will comment later when I have more time.
