I'm glad you found it interesting. I found it to be quite good for a lot 
of FLOSS projects to explain 'branding' and such. As for the 
designer...I do happen to know some (perhaps not Omega..), but certainly 
kickass designers who might be interested in this. It is just a matter 
of defining what we want and in which timespan. When they have the time 
and find it interesting they probably want to help us out. Even without 
the big bucks ;)

Have a look at some of the stuff these guys've been doing:

Can't wait to see the results!

Good to hear it was useful for you. When I first heard him say that I 
thought it was bs, but later on I saw the wisdom in it...

Or attract some designers to this community? This might be benifical for 
more than XSPF...perhaps these designers get interested in other Xiph 
stuff as well (do I hear Ogg Theora :))...

All the best,
