Hi Andreas,

So what are your feelings about alternatives A1 and A3. Obviously I lean 
towards solutions which I've proposed but I'm ready to accept these 
alternatives if you think they are better/simpler.

Especially, I realize that off-stream storage of meta-info which I proposed 
is an unusual solution. Since I don't have as much practical experience as 
you or Ingo, I will not push this idea against recommendations of both of 
you. On the other hand, it would be cool to implement something unusual... :)

Also, if you see in HLS any specifications which would unnecessarily 
constrain your implementation then let me know now, before final version is 
settled. However, it is not impossible to change HLS also later if a need 
arises.
