[Cellar] Re: Introductions and a new I-D that may be appropriate for CELLAR

[Sam Whited <[e-mail]>]

Following up: I've also submitted a new draft to be worked on in 
parallel (for now) using Matroska. It's still unclear to me how I would 
store some of this information in Matroska or which format would be 
better for this use case (or even what requirements would lead one 
format to being a better fit than the other), but for now I'll work on 
both and if one ends up seeming like a better option I can always drop 
the other draft.

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-swhited-mka-stems/

I'd still be interested in knowing if this is something cellar would be 
interested in (regardless of whether my specific draft is picked up or 
not), or if I should stop spamming the list and stick to the individual 
submission stream :)
