Unfortunately, the database doesn't tell me whether an
artist is a person or
a group. I could get this data by hitting the brainz api but
we don't yet
have a local copy of the brainz api to hit and I'm on a
promise to robert
not to kill his server. So in the meantime it's the best I
can do with
available data...

I empathise - I had the same trouble with bands vs. artist
in the 
relevant infobox on Wikipedia, Fortunately, it is possible
for other 
parameters used there, to distinguish between them.

I wonder whether "no microformats" would be better
than "broken 
microformats"?

What do others think?
