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.
