TagLib doesn't handle xiphcomments spread over multiple ogg pages

Sure -- I'm not saying that it's not a bug in TagLib, just that the case 
where you're likely to go over the 64 kb limit of a page is if you're 
abusing what the comments are for.

Perhaps for your application, but not for those that inter-op with it 
and follow the spec by assuming all data there to be human readable.  
I'd really discourage this use of comments.

I'll probably fix this in TagLib at some point, but it's just not 
something that I feel is especially urgent -- notably since this bug has 
been there since the first release of TagLib 4.5 years ago and this is 
the first time it's been reported.
