Basic XML rules are that all attribute names for a particular element are unique. However, what you could do is just have multiple <dc:creator/> (or <dc:contributor/>) tags with the same content and different @opf:role values.
Oh, and I missed your note about @opf:role="att". I think you may be right, but the phrasing of "there is or once was substantial authority" makes it unclear. Consider a book such as the
Rhetorica ad Herennium which was attributed to Cicero, and let's say that we discover definitively that it was actually by Cannutius. The book was "published" by the name "Cicero," but was actually by someone names "Cannutius." What you're proposing is that the @role="aut" is "Cannutius" and @role="att" is "Cicero". But if you do the same thing for
Huckleberry Finn then you should have your @role="aut" be "Samuel Clemens" and your @rol="att" be "Mark Twain".
If you wanted to be
really specific, you could use the
@dcterms:coverage property with @role="att" to specify different time periods of attribution by "substantial authority."
