BTW, when I searched for KD Lang on CDNOW, they didn't find her. Ooops. Later after struggling I learned that I had to include periods after the K and the D. So even at the artist level, there's a need for a canonical name.

I don't have high hopes for this, when I constantly have to enter my phone number or credit card number without spaces, dashes, or other readability-enhancements.
