Do you prefer the tone / style of this one:

For reference:
    Thanks, this looks like a good start, but I think there are a couple of 
things to fix before approval:

    In 97e6eca06390, MATROSKA_ID_CHAPTERATOM was removed from 
matroska_chapter_entry[]. Previously nested ChapterAtom elements were treated 
as known but intentionally skipped. After this change they fall into the 
generic unknown-element path instead. That still skips them on the happy path, 
but on non-seekable inputs it also feeds the damaged-data heuristic 
(unknown_count / SKIP_THRESHOLD), so valid files with hierarchical chapters can 
now be treated as malformed. I think ChapterAtom should stay as EBML_NONE here 
unless subchapters are parsed properly.

    The forward-declaration block still contains matroska_chapter[6], but there 
is no matching real definition/use anymore after the rename to 
matroska_edition. That leaves an unused static object behind, which is likely 
to trigger a source warning with FFmpeg's warning setup (-Wall, while 
-Wno-unused-variable is only disabled for headers) .

    If you already have the sample you mentioned locally, a small FATE case 
covering EditionEntry plus a nested ChapterAtom would also make this much safer.
