</div>

can anyone get this to trace?

```auto

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/">
    <trackList>
        <track><location>file:///mp3s/song_1.mp3</location></track>
        <track><location>file:///mp3s/song_2.mp3</location></track>
        <track><location>file:///mp3s/song_3.mp3</location></track>
    </trackList>
</playlist>

```

if i remove the attributes in the playlist node it works

```auto
 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<playlist>
    <trackList>
        <track><location>file:///mp3s/song_1.mp3</location></track>
        <track><location>file:///mp3s/song_2.mp3</location></track>
        <track><location>file:///mp3s/song_3.mp3</location></track>
    </trackList>
</playlist>

```

does as3 not like attributes on the root node? maybe im doing something wrong.
