I suspect that those of us who enjoy classical music are often thought of as just being prissy or pedantic when we say that it needs to be treated diffently from other genres. But the reality is that 'classical' music (a ridiculously inappropriate name, but we are saddled with it) is more than a genre; it is a repository of musical works built up over many centuries. People should expect it to have a more complex data structure than other music.

That said, I agree with what you say. It is interesting to consider why the UPnP standard should be so unhelpfully loose. Part of the reason is that many (perhaps most) of those who support UPnP are also involved (often more actively) in DNLA, which is even more unhelpfully draconian. And I suspect that it is from this group that the most influential among those who regard classical music as just awkward will come.

Hi I am just going to the next step reorganizing my collection once more,
I am reading the forum again and stepped over your comment.

You are quite right but in reality your comment even extends to popular music. If you view an original album (an album in it's form as originally published) as a "classical" work and you want to tag all relevant information around it you have to view the exact same limitations.
