That's a question we've been wrestling with for some time, Martin.
Here's why I'm in support of TRACK:

- TRACK gives the publisher much more flexibility when marking up data.

For example, if there is a paragraph of text that contains multiple
hAudios from multiple albums, but only one of the tracks mentioned
belongs to the hAlbum specified in the current paragraph, we don't want
the uF parser to accidentally assume that all hAudios belong to the
album specified.

Or, we can look at the counter to that point. If we don't have TRACK,
how can we differentiate hAudios that belong to an hAlbum from hAudios
that don't belong to an album in a single paragraph?

TRACK lets us be more specific about what we are describing AND gives
publishers more flexibility when publishing data.

The page looks great... we'll try and get an hAlbum Operator
implementation together and see what it looks like when we do a complete
round-trip with the hAlbum uF.
