a) costly for Adobe to implement
To make the CS5.5 deadline, and with the cross-platform rewrite, we simply weren't able to get to some things on our list (not that we ditched the features or anything). However, MPEG 1 Layer II, and MPEG 2 Layer II have their own royalty issues that we have to pay for.

b) they thought not many people needed it.
Not the case at all, we know many of our loyal radio customers need this functionality on a daily basis. I do, however, have to admit that we saw this as less prevelant than .mp3 (when looking at our total customer base).

I keep meaning to make a list of things that use mp2 like radio playout systems, the Nagra field recorder, DAB files and so on so as to make more of a case. Any examples of mp2 need should be flagged up to Adobe.
Best thing to do would be to amass a set of test files such that if/when we support this, it can be more thoroughly tested in-house before we put it out the door. I have a good set from various places, but we always get our best and trickiest test files from customers.
