In MARC21, the 100 is one field with two uses. It is a name in its
own right, figuring as a data element in relation to the bib record;
and it is a lead element in the 1XX/240 "uniform title" data
structure. These are separable functions, and we'd have been better
served if they'd been separated in MARC. Maybe MODS could recognize
this difference by defining "object uniform entry" (or some such) as
a distinct data element containing Name and Title subelements, like
"subject" and "relatedItem". Then the name element could be entered
in two places to fulfill these two distinct functions. Our experience
with MARC should teach us that trying to finesse these kinds of
divergent functions with a single data element generally fails.
