I wonder if would not be better to have a DISPLAY tag that has no
semantic 
meaning besides "this is what I want the player to display while playing
this".

I do think the ARTIST tag should be kept for the reasons you described
previously, that if you go to all this trouble to differentate performer
from composer from conductor from etc. that you don't want to pollute
the PERFORMER tag by assuming CDDB's (or whatever) artist == PERFORMER.
