I think if you want people to do something for you, its best to make it 
as easy as possible for them which your first post didnt do.

I don't see why its absurd, the fact is that you had functionality that 
doesn't match the specification and that it was this webpage is for, it 
is important for users and developers to be aware of these differences, 
and it seems by adding this to the compliance list its prompted you to 
take action.

That said I don't think the null separator idea is a bad idea, after 
that is what happens in 2.4, and I have proposed a 2.3.1 specification 
myself which would allow nulls for all text fields. After all you want 
multiple values for all kinds of text fields not just the artist field, 
and only a few fields are specified to use the '/' seperator in v23. So 
if it was me I would make it optional whether to use null seperators or 
' / ' in Foobar2000
