I am trying to defend the rest of the world and avoid unnecessary alternative 
compilation detection mechanisms, as I can't see any problem with the current 
logic.

And it should be clear that by turning it off, there is no alternative to using 
a non-standard id3 tag to identify compilation albums.

Yes.

Yes, and it should never be necessary to set COMPILATION=0.

Yes, I agree.  iTunes was so wrong in doing that.
