http://xiph.org/vorbis/doc/vorbisfile/crosslap.html This is a quality of implementation issue, but crosslapping (not crossfading) can be used both when switching between streams that align perfectly and ones that have come overlap. A non-normative link to the vorbisfile documentation could be useful to implementors.

Mind if I change the text to "crossfade or crosslap" since crosslapping might not be an option for non-Vorbis codecs like AAC, HE-AAC, or MP3?
Crosslapping is actually performed on raw PCM buffers, it isn't a codec-specific technique. But yes, mentioning both is fine. Note that "crosslapping" has slightly better searchability than "crosslap", so if it can be phrased as such it'd be great.
