[Data-modeling] About the new authorship cvt...Is it correctly modeled/implimented?

[Micah Saul]

That is correct, supporting types are not supposed to show up in the  
UI. However, something should not be typed as just a supporting  
type... they are meant to be used in conjunction with other types as  
included types. It really does seem that this schema is incorrect as  
it currently stands, for that exact reason.
