If I didn't make the point clear, let me state it categorically: I do 
not support removing tempo markings from movement titles.

If I may be blunt in turn, what's best for a few detail-oriented folks 
isn't necessary what's best for MusicBrainz or CSG.  You have it 
entirely within your power to add whatever information you like to your 
personal database, wiki master list, or tags.  I do (being a person of 
obsessive perfectionist slant myself), but that doesn't mean I'd foist 
that cruft on CSG. :)

I've been trying (unsuccessfully?) to frame these discussions in the 
perspective of the average user.  My views may or may not be 
representative, but I'd like to know that these folks have been given 
due consideration.
