Here is a release of mine that has only "Simon Rattle" on the cover,
but the current artist name is "Sir Simon Rattle".

Either way we do it, these inconsistencies are going to happen.  I
can't think of a reason why it's better to have this in the artist
name than in the ACs for the releases where it's used.  Is it an
offical part of the person's legal name or something like that?

I'd rather see it codified, whichever way the decision goes.
