Looking through the example records, I see this:

     <name type="corporate">
       <namePart>Roustabouts (Musical group)</namePart>
       <role>
         <code>prf</code>
       </role>
     </name>

If I understand right including the "(Musical group)" bit is a holdover
from MARC tradition.  This makes me cringe a bit (musical group is,
after all, additional metadata about the name; not the name itself),
and am just wondering if this would work as well?

     <name type="corporate">
        <namePart>Roustabouts</namePart>
        <role>
                <code>prf</code>
        </role>
        <description>Musical group</description>
     </name>
