E.g. M. V. Stott {AKA: David Bussell}
In addition, the metadata searches could cross-reference both names. So I wouldn't need to know under which pseudonym the book was associated on any particular website.

This could be useful for an author who only used a single pseudonym for all their output but quite a few of my pseudonym using authors either use multiple pseudonyms and/or also publish books under their real name. Henry Kuttner comes to mind as one horrible example -- his pseudonyms had pseudonyms.
Not to mention adding Isaak Ozimov as a real name? Very few would know whom it was. Ditto for Carolyn Cherry? Without an internet search, how many people will know whom this multiple award winning author was? Gentle hint: the genre was not romance.
