[Playlist] Musicmobs' XSPF files

Hello!


I took a closer look at Musicmobs' XSPF files
(this one: http://xspf.musicmobs.com/music/India%20Arie.xspf)
and I was irritated by two things:


Their tracks contain an element "itunesurl" as direct child
of "track":

    <track>
      <itunesurl>
        <![CDATA{..}]>
      </itunesurl>
    </track>

I thought new tags must be wrapped inside "extension"?
The other one is not better: An empty extension in a XSPF-0 file:

{..}
  </trackList>
  <extension application="http://www.musicmobs.com"/>
</playlist>


So there are two questions I have on this: First am I missing
something or does Musicmobs implement something far away
from XSPF? Secondly how should an XSPF parser deal with
such files?


Regards, Sebastian
