It is ot yet part of UMM (that's why it's in the "testing" folder) as we didn't know how exactly this would work out.
Remember that it's not working yet. As far as I can remember it is just able to read the list and content of files attached to an MKV. There were/are some issues in writing the files as our goal would be to write as few data as needed to make it as fast as possible.
If you use a tool like mkvmerge you can also attach files to an MKV but you have to remux the whole file (which may be several GB big) which takes a while.
If you are willing to continue working on this you can always contact euphoric (I'll try to contact him as well) for more details and let us (send me a PM or something) know so we can give you write access to our SVN so you can store your progress there as well.

This partially begs the question of having a true (and single) multimedia container to some extent. Why do we need OGG and Theora files where they can be one and the same and have metadata and graphics embedded for in-application parsing? What is the advantage now days to have media specific files? Lower overhead on file size? seeing extensions of the files in a file/application manager? On the desktop?
I prefer to have all my media in something like MKV containers, but the spec is still somewhat limited, no?

The MKV container allows you to attach any kind of file to an existing MKV file. Get yourself "mkvtoolnix" which contains "mkvmerge GUI" and start that application. Then load an MKV file and go to the second tab named "Attachments" (or something like that as I have it in german and not english). There you can attach/detach any file you want.
BUT the downside of mkvmerge is that it always remuxes the whole file so if you're file has a size of a few GB it takes a while. Our goal is to get rid of that complete remux as attachments are placed at the very end of an MKV anyway. So maybe we can just write to the end of the file to achieve what we want.
