Hmm.. I'm not sure your example makes sense as the second rule from the
fb2k article is

"tag should only exist if an album contains various artists. It should
NOT be created when an album does not contain various artists. "

So you'd only add ALBUM ARTIST tag when it is actually a compilation
album - and not when the artists is called Various Artists.  If the
artist was called Various Artists that would go in the 'ARTIST' tag.
