I think the biggest thing holding back usage of the more advanced XSPF
features is that so many developers code their own XSPF library, rather
than using a standard library like libSpiff. Unless you're using a
third party library, it's too much labor to do a lot of it.
Similarly, software that doesn't use a library for HTTP client functions
frequently doesn't understand redirects and all the other shared
minutiae which make HTTP so incredibly useful.
