1) that's not the model referred to in "Why doesn't the following work 
for you, then?", above.

2) Where is the evidence, in examples like that quoted at the top if 
this post, that people publish terms like "Artist" when referring to the 
key creator?

How does that cater for people who use "produced by" instead of 
"producer"?

The role there is "singer" or "vocalist", not "vocals".

hCard is not just for business cards. It's for "people, organisations or 
places".
