Implying we could dispense with the author element altogether? Or 
perhaps have an author element with an idno as its only content. But 
then the TEI processing applications would have to know how to get at 
that name.

Depends on what you want to do with the data. I was thinking of a 
situation where the presentation application wants to show, with each 
author, a hyperlink to his/her entry in the identification system.
