OK, looks like it'll be UTF-8.  I'll document it.

Well, I didn't see any reason *to* restrict it.  I didn't think of the name 
':-)', but I have to say it's appealing in an unsettling sort of way ;-)

I don't actually have a strong feeling on that issue.

Yeah, that's what I meant.

I'd neglected to think of that!  That does seem cleaner than 'ARTIST=Dizzy 
Gillespie, Sonny Rollins, Sonny Stitt'

It seems like a good idea to allow it *and* document that it's allowed with an 
example as above.  Comments?
