Except that won't do much good -- usually they're clever enough not o
use the CD logo or call it a CD.  The most common example these days is
DualDisc, which is roughly CDDA-like on one side, but the substrate is
too thin, so some drives can't focus on it.  On the other side it's a
perfectly valid DVD.

They, like most of the "we'll mess with the Table of Contents so things
read it wrong", generally don't use the Compact Disc term or logos.
