Compilations can have any album artist name you like.  Think of "Compilation" 
property as another entity, like genre or year.

No, it's not.  It's merely a set of albums that have album.compilation=1, 
irrespective of album artist.

It's not right to introduce any more special logic that binds an album artist 
with a compilation property.
