But who would do that? Patents have run out (which the Fraunhofer Society had never aggressively pursued), there's no one to gain by anybody's use of mp3, so, I doubt that there'll be someone to make a huge convincing effort. But, it's mostly an academic question, .ogg is fine, and if for someone it isn't, it's they who'd have to convince you.
