Valid but should they be

[dericed]

This files are all valid to the specifications AFAICT, but perhaps they
shouldn’t be.

Mh, github needs a visualizer for EBML files.

It's not invalid if EBMLReadVersion is 1.

[dericed]

in EBML draft the EBMLVersion has a range of 1 reference as that is the only defined version of EBML, so EBMLVersion=2 is invalid since it goes outside of the range.

Re visualizer for EBML. I thought of using mkvparse's mkv2xml to update an xml representation for each but many of these files would not be possible to depict in mkvparse's output.

Perhaps if the file is small enough we could have a hexadecimal text document with spacing to depict the data.

For instance

1A45DFA3 0100000000000023 #EBML
  4286 81 01 #EBMLVersion
  42F7 81 01 #EBMLReadVersion
  42F2 81 04 #EBMLMaxIDLength
  42F3 81 08 #EBMLMaxSizeLength
  4282 88 6D6174726F736B61 #DocType
  4287 81 04 #DocTypeVersion
  4285 81 02 #DocTypeReadVersion

to convert this to an EBML file, pipe the text to

grep -o '^[^#]*' | xxd -r -p > header.mkv

The grep is to strip comments. This would allow sample files as text and then we could have a Makefile to convert them to EBML.
