[Playlist] Question on identifier content, URI and URN

Hello!


I am confused about the identifier content:

While XSPF Version 0 (http://www.xspf.org/xspf-v0.html) says that
identifier "MUST be a legal URI" XSPF Version 1
(http://www.xspf.org/xspf-v1.html) says it "MUST be a legal URN".

The identifiers found in the testcases "playlist-extensive.xspf"
and "track-extensive.xspf" did not help to make this clear:


<identifier>magnet:?xt=urn:sha1:YNCKHTQCWBTRNJIV4WNAE52SJUQCZO5C</identifier>
This looks like a broken URN to me.

<identifier>http://bar.com/secondderived.xspf</identifier>
This is a URL, not a URN.


Please help me to understand this, I really need help here.


Thanks in advance, Sebastian
