i'd prefer to keep it, but to only use it when that's how it actually
appears on the tracklisting. a lot of 'bad' edits have been done under the
current guideline - eg putting (feat. x) on stuff like the chemical brothers
use of famous guest vocalists on a lot of tracks - in my experience they
don't credit them beyond a mention in the liner, not on the tracklisting. so
i don't think the SG5 should be applied.

i want the guidelines to organise data found on tracklistings, not
add/remove stuff (within reason). not by default, anyway. once AR info is
transferred to tags, this could all be user preferences in the tagger (eg
you could have 'SomeDudes - FunkyShit (feat. Dave [Bass], Steve [Kazoo])' or
whatever)

not got round to adding this as an alternative on the wiki yet, though.

Cheers,
Chris B
