You need to write something called "<Blah>RelationshipType" that looks 
like this:

http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/wiki.pl?RemixerRelationshipType

However, that particular page is *very* light on examples.  For this 
case, I'd want examples more like what's over at:

http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/wiki.pl?ArtistName

Then, you're going to have to brace yourselves for a *lot* of questions, 
proof-reading, corrections, and suggestions.

None of this guarantees that the idea will get implemented.  It'll just 
provide the structure for coming up with the good definitions that Don 
and I are insisting on.

I can tell you from experience that nothing seems like it's going to end 
up as a big mess until you actually see it running for real.  Then it 
becomes *real* obvious :-(  Writing things down in nice clear sentences 
and ridiculous detail is an essential part of the process of coming to 
realise just how big a mess it's going to turn out to be...
