This leaves me confused. On the one hand, I recognize the "Elvis vs. JXL"
on the single and in other on-line databases. On the other hand, it seems
to me that those who wrote and agreed on VersusStyle were trying to avoid
having "vs." artists in the database as much as possible, and that this is
exactly the kind of case they had in mind when they agreed on it.

I do believe 99% of all existing "vs." tracks are home made bedroom remixes, and that the point to minimize the amount of "vs." artists in the database is to
make these in some sense less important that they could be considered otherwise.
But your other paragraph worries me a bit. Is your proposal that this track should be Elvis Presley - "A Little Less Conversation (Jackal XL remix)", or that such name constructions should ever be made?
