Please use a compact serialization for the video as is done for the audio. #73

Please consider using a normal struct serialized or a simple flat associative array using pascal strings and a 64bit value field (the video specification is only numbers and enum that I can see).

+1, the hardest part about implementing this is probably going to be writing a bug-free XML parser.

I don't really get why this specification is in XML (and in the worst RDF variant too)

Thanks for the feedback! We have drafted Spherical Video V2 to address this issue. We also created a mailing list, spatial-media-discuss to discuss it and other specification issues.
