We used to do this on Webjay a long time ago, but took it out because it
felt like a vanity. If it's useful we can re-enable that code.
Brainstorming about uses of the tag --
A Greasemonkey script that auto-inserted a player when it found this link.
A screen scraper that took advantage of the XSPF version to get
formatted semantics of links within the document. For example it would
be able to identify the creator of a particular track by using
information within the XSPF.
