What I'm thinking about is that white space in element content might 
make it harder to parse elements that hold URLs.

Here's the situation I'm thinking of:
<location>
    http://example.com
</location>

That's legal, but the URL is invalid until you trim off the leading and 
trailing whitespace.

CDATA would be:
<location><![CDATA[http://example.com]]></location>


..but now that I type it out I realize that this would be no better. 
The party generating XSPF should just not let whitespace get into these 
elements.

Ok, thanks for listening while I figured out the answer for myself.  :)
