The Koha set up is somewhat clunky, but is at least a beginning in trying to make things standardized. The first improvement I would suggest is the ability to import LC authority headings into Koha...
I think this is a great enhancement idea. Something similar to the marc import tool or possibly similar to the z3950 biblio search. Would you mind opening an enhancement request at http://bugs.koha.org so that we can keep track of it and possibly garner some sponsorship for it?
Currently there's bulkauthimport.pl, which is good for one-time imports from the command line. I've created a heavily modified version for loading the weekly updates from LC, and would be happy to clean it up and submit it as a patch. I've been a little reluctant to do it so far because it's MARC21 and LC specific (relying on the 010 field), but if other folks would find it useful....
