The thing is that it's not that simple. Various tagging formats
support various features, you can't use a generic API unless you
ignore some of the features. Ignoring them is fine for some
applications, but it might not be for others. That's why I still think
the generic API should be one level above the format-specific API (you
could easily write one using the current TagLib API).
