It certainly works for me. I am using the latest iTunes. The selection is a
list. If I have one track selected then the it will a list of one track.
What happens when you select a track and run a script that says:

tell application "iTunes"
selection
end tell

Why should I be reading an XML file? I have something that works most of the
time. Trying to parse an XML file would be a pita. Besides, I still have to
access it via iTunes objects in order to play it. I don't think looking at
the XML file is going to give me more than what I have in iTunes.
