That makes sense to me.

I was also confused by that.  I spent a while trying to figure out  
what exactly class="haudio" would mean in this schema, and it looks  
like haudio has an incredibly generic meaning along the lines of  
"information about some type of audio" where both albums and tracks  
are potential types of audio.  I think that's far too general to be  
useful.  The container and item labels should be specific enough to  
make that unnecessary.  If we can't assume class="halbum" refers to  
audio, I think it's a poor class name and another name should be  
chosen that clearly indicates the content relates to audio without  
any need for additional labels like "haudio."
