Also, user agents are free to reinterpret track descriptions in any
way that works for their users.  For example, when the track is
<location>file:///mp3/hankwilliams/cheatingheart.mp3</location>, that
file doesn't exist on the machine where the playlist is being
rendered, and another file named /ogg/hankwilliams/cheatingheart.ogg
does exist.

Is there any member of the community who wants to take ownership of
this page?  If not, what if we move the page to Wikipedia?
