Sure.

	Here is an excerpt from the MODS record for an issue of The New Age,  
containing an article written by "Alice Morning" (one of the many  
pseudonyms for Beatrice Hastings):

And here is the MADS record for Beatrice Hastings (abbreviated for  
clarity):

<mads>
   <authority>
     <name type="personal">
       <namePart type="family">Hastings</namePart>
       <namePart type="given">Beatrice</namePart>
       <namePart type="date">1879-1943</namePart>
     </name>
   </authority>
   <related>
     <name type="personal">
       <namePart>Morning, Alice</namePart>
     </name>
   </related>
   <identifier type="LCCN">no2006002215</identifier>
   <identifier type="mjp">HastingsBeatrice</identifier>
</mads>

We use the <identifier> element in the MADS record to encode both a  
local identifier and, when possible, an LCCN (to support future  
federated searches); in the MODS record, we use the xlink:href  
attribute on the <name> element to link the byline to the name  
authority record.
