Unless pertinent tags are included in the official specifications, they will never be supported by hardware players and will only cause frustration for end users stuck with moving tags from one field to another because of incompatibilities. To me, the GUESTARTIST field seems useful enough to justify it being included in the official tagging specifications.

 From my perspecive, a hardware player will either
(a) not have enough screen real-estate to display any but the most basic 
tags anyway, or
(b) have lots of screen real-estate. Plenty of space for a proper 
tag-display-format editor.

 From yet another perspective, what's wrong with:

ARTIST=One Bad Pig
ARTIST=(guest) Johnny Cash

?
