The proposal is still trying to dictate policy that people don't like. I 
don't like the idea that fields you consider 'depreciated' shouldn't be 
displayed by players. Arbitarily renaming artist to performer seems to me to 
be just splitting hairs. 

I'm also not keen on _requiring_ certain fields to be singletons, either. 
Most of the fields mentioned in that list are likely to only have one value 
because it doesn't make much sense to enter more than one. 

I think you'd have a lot more luck providing implementation advice rather 
than dictating policy.
