Thanks toydi.  Does del.icio.us maintain order as other bookmarks are 
created.  I guess they do...

I would probably use the XSPF format instead of the proprietary iTunes.

My initial idea was that the announce would provoke a secondary fetch 
where graphics and album
art, album notes, etc could be appended by any site that knew how.  So 
anybody subscribing to the
feed would have an implied discovery methodology for enhancements using 
uf pointers.
