No, they aren't, id3 stopped at v2.3 and iaw the id3 spec will not 
recognise files with newer revisions on them. I did a cut for something 
I was working on a while back which enabled support but only in 
read-only mode and even then only for tags which are common to both 
specs. Have a look at taglib if you want a library that supports newer 
revisions (and is actively maintained).
