Agree, but even if there becomes more software available I feel we still 
need to have the spec 'freezed'for a different reason. For now the spec 
seems to be 'good enough' and until there are pressing reasons I don't 
see why we should or need to change anything.

I like the idea of the extensions. I do not like the idea of letting the 
spec become larger and incorporate all sorts of 'extras' that might or 
might not be used. For now the specs seem to be easy to implement and 
slim. Perhaps we should think about how to create an easy to access 
repository for future extensions in order to make it as easy as possible 
for developers to incorporate certain features using extensions in their 
software without extending the core specs. This way the core spec 
functionality can be 'frozen' and new functionality can thrive with or 
without the consent of this group...

ps: Are there any XSPF people going to the iSummit in Brazil? See
