Jonathan added to the proposal the following definition:
ARTIST
for information to be displayed on systems with limited display
capabilities. it is not a replacement for the ENSEMBLE and PERFORMER
tags, but typically will summarize them.
As I understand the aim is to provide more compatibility with players
(especially portable) that are so dumb as to display only "ARTIST", in
a
hardcoded way. That's not a recommended design anyway, but let the tag
exist.
It also reduces the tension with v-comment.html, which specefies ARTIST.
Most simple GUIs for users that don't care about separating PERFORMER /
COMPOSER / CONDUCTOR / etc. (Jonathan, did you mean those instead of
PERFORMER / ENSEMBLE?) will probably use ARTIST no matter what this
propasal says anyway... A suggestive UI, like a pull-down box of the more
specific tags near the artist field should be recommended IMHO.
<p>P.S. "The remaining tags are multiples;..." line has bogus
indentation,
making it barely noticable. It's correct as a first line of a paragraph
but maybe the tag lists should pushed right to make a clearer
separation...
While at this, why the "last appearance should be used" on singletons?
As
a human I would naturally look on the first as the most significant...
