Your email somehow came to me not the list so I've quoted some of it here.
Obviously I don't know much about this but i am really keen on getting more tags. I read this in Wikipedia
'Vorbis Comment' page 
"The number of fields and their length is restricted to 4,294,967,295 (the maximum value of a 32-bit <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit> integer), but most tag editing applications impose stricter limits.

The data is encoded in UTF-8 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8>, and 
so any Unicode <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode> string may be used 
as a value.

Any tag name is allowed, and there is no format that the data values 
must be in"

I will be reading to try and understand more  - but I think more tags is 
possible and it would be nice to get suggestions from the list.
I consider my record collection and how I would like to be able to 
search it and certainly labelling (tagging) of 'Various Artist' and 
single artist 'Greatest Hits' compilation albums seems problematic as 
one might like to play all singles from a certain year or put singles in 
chronological order.
