I tend to care more about entering it as artist credit with variation when
it's an original release by that artist.

If an anthology VA cd misspells Billie Holiday as Billie Holliday I would
probably just correct it, but if it was written on a contemporary 78 record
label I would bother to enter that.
This is not something I've seen as a recommendation; just something I've
noticed myself doing.
