Katrin,

I think both things you talk about are done exactly as described by the LOC.
Please check the examples at http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd511.html
and also have a look at the field in Koha cataloguing. Field 511 (in MARC and
in Koha) is designed to take a list of names per field. The field is
repeatable, the subfield a is not. No display constant generation is necessary
to have several 511 fields for different lists, like 'voices', 'presenter' etc.
in the LOC examples, where these descriptions are part of the field value.

It would be nicer to have a subfield for display constant generation, but that
is not how MARC works for this field. And who are we to doubt MARC?
