[DOCUMENTATION] man page not specific on extra comments for oggenc

I recently installed the version 1.0 RPMs, and am using oggenc.

The man page has an entry:
       -c comment, --comment comment
              Add  the  string comment as an extra comment.  This
              may be used multiple times, and all instances  will
              be added to each of the input files specified.

I assumed this works like the other comment options.  It doesn't.  It requires both a comment name and a comment value, rather than just a value.  The error I got was 'Warning: Illegal comment used ("various comments I tried"), ignoring.'

Here's a sample usage of oggenc:
WRONG:
oggenc -q 4.99 -N 01 -t "Why" -a "Annie Lennox" -l "Diva" \
-c "perfect rip w/ Monty's cdparanoia" \
-c "encoded w/ oggenc at -q 4.99" -n \
"%a_-_%l_-01-_%t_4m53s.ogg" track01-ald.wav

CORRECTED:
oggenc -q 4.99 -N 01 -t "Why" -a "Annie Lennox" -l "Diva" \
-c "RIPPER=perfect rip with cdparanoia" \
-c "ENCODER=oggenc at -q 4.99" -n \
"%a_-_%l_-01-_%t_4m53s.ogg" track01-ald.wav

I made this bug report normal severity vs. minor because Google could not find any answer for me except for a single Russian language page that Babelfish could not translate well enough for me.

I can't fix this myself because I don't understand well enough how to build RPMs.  I can send a diff for the man page if that would help.

Please cc: me at index@cox.net regarding this.
