It could, but the spec currently explicitly disallows it.  Has that
changed while I was not looking?

Also, Silvia-- one reason Ogg was designed the way it was so that
remuxing was trivial-- it was a simple as deciding what pages to send
out.  The remuxing was trivial ("shuffling a deck of cards; the cards
remain unchanged")
