Preamble: I get lots of questions about the iTunes specs. I've tried
posting here. I've tried posting to my weblog. I've put some effort
into improving the validator. I've contacted "Dr. Ernie" directly.
Ernie points back to this mailing list. Unfortunately, I can't point
people here with a clear conscience if this mailing list remains
primarily a write only media.
