Isn't one good reason the fact that you avoid the whole confusion of "I imported my XSPF playlist with all my IDs but my player didn't find any songs!" "Oh, that's because your player only supports XSPF 1, not 1.1"?

There is a version 0 and a version 1. They are identical except for minutiae related to date formats.

In version 0 of XSPF, dates were specified as an ISO 8601 date. In version 1 dates were specified as xsd:dateTime. This is the same thing (with better documentation) for almost every date in history, and as there are no playlist creation dates that might be different, there are no real world playlists that would be incompatible.
