AAAH!  I can't believe I did that!  yes, it's a typo, let me restate
the whole thing so there's no confusion :)

"this is the (SPL) loudness level used as a reference for the
replaygain analysis. for anything made with flac.exe it will be
89dB and I have not seen any other tool that analyzes FLAC files
that uses a different value, so apps should treat a missing tag
as 89dB."

the original spec from David Robinson was for 83dB but Frank Klemm's
modification to 89dB seems to have taken hold (not just in FLAC but
other formats too).
