Why not do as one here suggested (don't remember who atm, sorry), 
introduce a _standard_ tag for display format of the tags ? You could 
even go further, and make some specific format tags for the different 
standard tags, which, if present, determine how to compose that tag:

ALBUM=S&M
ARTIST=Metallica
ENSEMBLE=San Francisco Symphony Orchestra
CONDUCTOR=Michael Kamen
TITLE=Wherever I May Roam
ARTISTFORMAT=$ARTIST with $ENSEMBLE ($CONDUCTOR)
TITLEFORMAT=$TITLE

.. and maybe even a default format for displaying:

DISPLAYFORMAT=$ARTISTFORMAT - $TITLEFORMAT

Btw, it would be nice if variables were possible in all tags..
Would beat all other formats even further into the dust =)
