those libraries are "hidden" in the package, otherwise the songbird package 
will be handled as a provider for those libs by the installers and conflicts 
with existing xulrunner/taglib packages.
And when rpm installs this package it detects these libs internally. So this 
is attended.

read the comments in the spec file:
# Songbird requires an upstream patched xulrunner and taglib to function 
properly.

And as long upstream insists in having a own private xulrunner version nad 
taglib version, this is the onlypossibility to provide this package. They 
even don't fix known issues in the emebedded xulrunner package.

Formerly they needed also a complete internal gstreamer framework .... So 
things are getting better with each release.

not in my opinion :)
