But I have to ask - is it a big issue? Consider that author names are<br>just a text string - there is no permission model behind, no way of<br>verifying the author etc. It's more of a descriptive field. What are<br>you trying to achieve here.

Which is fine for my personal wiki environment, but I wouldn't want something like that showing up in my professional work.
