Ooh. Tricky. The full list of MARC relator codes has one that look promising:

Quote:
Attributed name [att]
Use for an author, artist, etc., relating him/her to a work for which there is or once was substantial authority for designating that person as author, creator, etc. of the work.
I'd probably go with an @role="aut" of "Mark Twain" and an @role="att" of "Samual Clemens" but I have no formal experience in how the MARC codes are used.
