[mb-users] Question about Release Type

[jdc0730]

I recently came across a bootleg for Mike Doughty in Musicbrainz that  
was listed as a compilation of tracks that Mike Doughty recorded for a  
Various Artist spoken word release.   The style guideline for  
ReleaseType indicates the following:

"Note that there is a certain amount of crossover within the  
definition of compilation and the other types of release, for example  
a various artists soundtrack could also be considered a compilation.  
In general, compilation should be superceded by other release  
attributes when required."

I interpreted that to mean that more specific release types like Live  
or Spokenword would take precedent over Compilation.  The edit,  
http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=8472809 8472809 ,  only got one
negative vote citing the exact opposite: that  
compilation takes precedent.

I tried a couple of times to get follow up on the vote, but to no  
avail.  If I am reading this wrong, can someone help me with what I am  
missing?

Thanks for the clarification,
Jeff (jdc0730)
