Any appetite for a 'normalisation' layer over non-std tags?

Probably not, for the reason that has already come up in this thread:

We can't add or remove virtual methods from classes within a release series, e.g. everything in TagLib 1.x has to have the same set of virtual methods, and everything in TagLib 2.x will have the same limitations.  That's why the property interface was added since it allows for a dynamic set of properties over the many years that a set of virtual functions would need to stay stable.
