Well the users better get used to it because they already need to distinguish between author and authorName and site and siteURI. I think allowing them to use the same property in this special case will only add more confusion, not less. Furthermore, as I just pointed out, the two-property method is easier to use in forward-chaining systems like CWM and clones. Who objects to the two properties?
