I think I did come across mention of the '/' character used to delimit
multiple entries while on the id3.org web site over the weekend.  I'm
not sure I'd want to use it, as I no doubt have the same character in
the data.  Debating the id3v2 "spec", such as it is, seems totally
pointless.  There is no common acceptance of how it works and it's so
old and has been extended in so many ways that it's nearly irrelevant
any more beyond the basic tag layout.
