Yes, but you can give the 'files' any name you want inside the MPD. They
don't *have* to match the part name outside of the MPD. So you *can* get
named parts inside an MPD (with the help of a suitable 'post-processing'
program). I certainly didn't say it was the best way, only *a* way.

OK. I've never used the STEP feature, so I forgot that.

There's no need. I think I know them :-)

Yes of course! I was just trying to point to the possibilities already
available in the existing file formats. I do believe a new format would be
much more effective, but the time frame for actually agreeing on a new file
format is indefinite...
