Except by Monty's rules the standard may not require parsing of any tag
data to get information from it.  You will notice I already use the
bracket convention myself distinguish whether the performer is a violinist,
pianist, soprano, or other.

If what you want is an 'informal' standard, or something thats not
'official', I've already stated you can use PERFORMER in lieu of
ENSEMBLE.  Go wild and use PERFORMER instead of CONDUCTOR too.  I don't
mind.  In the freedb equivalent that springs up to hold the standard Ogg
taggings of various tracks, the will of the people will be known; if
more people use CONDUCTOR instead of PERFORMER, it will show up in the
database records.
