Why 'tape' is not included as song's child element in the API?

I'm curious why the '@tape' attribute is not included as a child element of the song (http://api.setlist.fm/docs/data_ns0.html#song)? There's currently no way for me to determine whether a 'song' is from tape or not from the API. Seems like it would be easy to include but odd that it isn't. Can anyone shed any light on this?

The answer's easy and also a bit embarrassing: the @Tape tag (“tag” of the setlist.fm markup language, used to edit setlists) was the last tag added and the API hasn't been adapted yet. I'll file a bug report. Thanks!

Has there been any updates with this? The api still doesn't include 'tape'. Was wondering if there's any kind of ETA. Thanks.

Seems as pretty important and not-hard-to-implement thing for me too.

No ETA yet. Sorry.

I also have noticed that the 'info' child element of 'setlist' isn't being included in the api. Is there a reason for this? Or is it the same reason why 'tape' isn't included? Will either of these issues be fixed in the future? Thanks.
