Note that we are storing authority data not together with the MARC data, but in separate and dedicated ``knowledge base'' SQL tables. In git master version, we support knowledge bases of types KBA (authority), KBR (reference), KBD (dynamic=real-time search query), KBT (taxonomy=SKOS ontology). Roughly speaking, KBA is a list of acceptable values val1, val2, ..., valN, and KBR is a list of pairs bad1---good1, bad2---good2, ..., badN---goodN. So your authority records could be potentially stored in a KBR, provided that you don't need to express other subfields there, only the bad---good relationship between the values. The KBs are managed by the BibKnowledge module and can be used in other Invenio modules, e.g. to auto-complete certain fields when editing the record in BibEdit, or to suggest alternative query patterns (or to silently include synonyms) when searching for a non-recommended term in WebSearch. Some of this functionality is still under development and is not committed to git master yet. Just wanted to mention this, in case it may cover your needs.
