This implies we still do not have hierarchal playlist for directories. The 
parser was failing to parse the hierarchy data.

That being noted, I find XSPF is a completely _moronic_ choice for this. Why 
the heck use a *flat* playlist format (XSPF) to store a *hierarchical* 
playlist (VLC) in a *hierarchical* meta-format (XML). This makes no sense to 
me. If we're to use XML, then why reinvent the wheel for hierarchy? I also 
did not know that VideoLAN had copied Microsoft's embrance and extend 
standards policy...
