[vorbis] (Classical) Request for Standardization of expanded TAGS

[Jon Shiring]

So you're saying, "Because most people get tags wrong, let's force them to 
only list one album, even if the song appears on more than one"?  Not only 
does it remove a feature that MIGHT be useful, it seems contradictory to 
say, "We need to be able to list what ensemble as opposed to performer 
performed this song, but we should prevent people from listing all of the 
albums a song is on.  They are too dumb to do it right."

Obviously I'm being a bit inflammatory and I'm putting words in your mouth 
unfairly, but it's to make a point :)  Again, not only is it possible for 
some people to use it correctly, but only limiting it to one album doesn't 
fix the problem -- the dumb people will still put the wrong album in.
