Is it possible that Kindle are doing something similar?

It should be possible to combine multiple authors into one author field, but it is tricky to get right since Kindles expect the author name to be stored in "last, first" format for sorting but display it as "first last".
To get "John Smith and Tom Jones" displayed as the author it would have to be stored as "Smith and Tom Jones, John" in order to sort somewhat correctly.
