I'd like to add on top of that, that a NUT framework for multiple
headers would greatly _complicate_ the question of how to store sane
formats like H.264. Do you store them all as one block separated by
the startcodes? Or in N different blocks? If storing them in N
different blocks, do you keep the startcodes or strip them??

See how nasty this all gets? Just having one format, the single binary
block with a spec for what goes in it, eliminates all the ambiguity
and complexity.
