I don't allow them, I change the name in calibre to something like 'Jonathan Swift @ Punch 1864' and 'Jonathan Swift @ Off the Record blog'.

That's what I was hoping you'd say

When a 'Book' is loaded into a 'served' library it's complete wrt to metadata & conversion etc, the only thing that changes from then on is if & when I add a transcript for video and audio podcasts. Changes to metadata are rare, and I haven't added new columns to those libraries for ages.
The only GUI function I sometimes wish for in the server is Save to Disk.
I also wish I could Mark a book when I add new format to an existing book - sometimes I forget to do it, which means I don't to a Save to Disk (into my mailTo folders). Happened twice last week
