That would be problematic for me: what is to differentiate a
compilation album from a legit release by the artist named 'Various
Artists'?

http://musicbrainz.org/artist/8e107957-c443-45b4-84f7-8b054499ef78.html

there is a difference between "an album by the group named 'Various
Artists' and an album by various artists'".

Setting the Album Artist to Various Artists would make it in the first
group.

Leaving AA -blank- on such things would kick in the compilation-check
and make it in the second group.
