I definitely think using [unknown] would be a bad idea when we can and 
do already leave this blank to accomplish the same thing. The only 
reason we have [unknown] for titles and artists is because they are 
compulsory, as I understand it. Labels and catalog numbers are not. This 
would be ugly and unnecessary, imo...
