[ID3 Dev] 'Extending' ID3 V2.4

I do agree that attempting to popularize v2.4.0 is a fruitless task. 
Practically the only reason anyone switches to v2.3.0 is to get strings 
longer than 30 characters.  The esoteric frames are virtually unknown to 
anyone who hasn't implemented a library.

However, ID3 is a recognizable brand, so if a new version based on XML 
were released, it might be seen as worth implementing by some of the major 
players.  No guarantee of that, of course.
