Yes, but the key question is: "TooBad" for whom? 

For the Provider? (i.e., if you don't have the Authorship information, then
don't even bother giving us the record)

Or, for the User? (i.e., here's all I got; so too bad if you also wanted
Authorship details).

Yes, but as I imagine many of these name-strings will be emerging from BHL
OCR text, in most cases we'll only be casting shame on people who are no
longer living.
