Goals
The use of EBML allows extension for future format changes. The Matroska team have openly expressed some of their long term goals on Doom9.org and hydrogenaudio.org.
Thus, the following are "goals", not necessarily existing features, of Matroska:
- creating a modern, flexible, extensible, cross-platform multimedia container format
- developing robust streaming support
- developing a menu system similar to that of DVDs based on EBML
- developing a set of tools for the creation and editing of Matroska files
- developing libraries that can be used to allow developers to add Matroska support to their applications
- working with hardware manufacturers to include Matroska support in embedded multimedia devices
- working to provide native Matroska support in various operating systems and hardware platforms

Famous quotes containing the word goals:
“If people would forget about utopia! When rationalism destroyed heaven and decided to set it up here on earth, that most terrible of all goals entered human ambition. It was clear there’d be no end to what people would be made to suffer for it.”
—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
“If you really think about it, everything is wonderful in this world, everything except for our thoughts and deeds when we forget about the loftier goals of existence, about our human dignity.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“I think that any woman who sets goals for herself and takes her own life seriously and moves to achieve the goals that she wants as a person in her own right is a feminist.”
—Frances Kuehn (b. 1943)
