Re: Media types and rss (was Re: Using dc:language vs language)

Hey Ralph,

I just remembered the problem with XSPF.

It was that XSPF lacked a method of specifying "how" things were downloaded.

Whether software could pre-fetch the video file (or audio file).

Or if software needed to wait until the last minute to download the
video file (or audio file).


See ya
