There is another reason this would be fantastic to have: sometimes authorities
are entered with the wrong 1XX field.  For example, the correct subject heading
is:

650 _ 0 $aAubrey, Jack (Fictitious character)

But a cataloger could think, "Hmmm...it's a name...I'll enter it:"
600 10 $aAubrey, Jack $c(Fictitious character)

And maybe even create an authority record for it off of that bib resulting in
an authority record with this:
100 10 $aAubrey, Jack $c(Fictitious character)

If you're an OCLC library, it's an easy fix--put this field into the OCLC
record:
010 _ _ $ash 92000670 
Overlay the correct authority record over the wrong local record, and, voila! 
The linked bib's 600 is corrected.

But what about ALL the non-OCLC libraries?  What about those who don't have
easy access to aut records to import?  Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to
simple go into the aut record in an advanced editor and type over the incorrect
100 with the correct:
150 _ 0 $aAubrey, Jack (Fictitious character)

I know the priority is low.  It's a feature that appeals to a small portion of
users.  But I bet if you measured the work hours saved, it would be HUGE.
