As I said before, I understand, but what about sleeves where all you
get is a name or a couple of names, with no mention of what they
precisely did. Usually, you can guess who wrote the lyrics and who did
something with the music, but that is about all. Or sometimes, you get
something like "music: xxx, lyrics: yyy"). I can see how yyy should be
entered, but what about xxx?

IMO people shouldn't be adding ARs if they don't have the sleeve or
some kind of factual info to go on. as well as being innacurrate it's
kinda pointless to add ARs you *think* may be right, no? i can
understand people want to link the beatles to these orchestra covers
albums (for example) but for that case CoverRelationshipType is
available for a more general relationship.

as a possibly relevent aside: 'written by' is quite important as
credits go, as it has many legal implications. this is why it's
important to get 'right' IMO.
