We’re proud to introduce today our new format going forward: lossless x264. The internet has by and large gracefully made the transition to x264 over the past two years and leechers are no longer afraid of such a scary new codec. Lossless x264 will provide an excellent solution to the needs of higher quality, without leechers having to install any new codecs or configurations. They (and we!) will be satisfied that this will be the best quality avaliable short of having the master tapes.

I am afraid of wasting twice as much bandwidth and having to purchase twice as much storage (which is vastly more expensive than the patent licenses).
Oh wait, I'm not afraid because nobody will ever use Theora.
Also, sadly the 200% figure isn't much of an exaggeration.

Lossless x264 - 24 PNGs a second, with a FLAC audio stream.
The evolution of the spec is also a WTF in itself. Like how unsynchronisation is done on the tag level in ID3v2.3.0, and switched to the frame level in ID3v2.4.0, while still keeping the (now useless) global unsynchronisation flags of v2.3.0.
You gotta love the layout of the v2.3.0 document too: it basically describes the whole spec without explaining what this unsynchronisation is (it's masking parts of the tag that look like an mpeg synchronisation sequence), leaving it for the very end, just before the copyright notice. The v2.4.0 spec tries to alleviate the pain by splitting the structure spec into a separate document, but still makes the same mistake.
