Of course, it is totally correct.  In such a case the authority record should
have 008/14-15 = 'aa'. 

I am aware that there are libraries with authority files of low quality,
self/automatically generated, not paying attention to 008.  Therefor this
feature should be optional, with default = 'do not'. 

For us it is essential because we are using more than one authority file for
subject heading and only one for main/added headings.  It happens that in
different authority files there are names of equal form but only one file
should be used for main/added entries.  And this is controlled by 008/14-16.

The story is in some sense analogous to the use of different thesauri (cf. Bug
30280).
