One last reply by me, and then this should go really back to HCI:

What you are saying is that the concept of the secondary options is 
flawed. This could be. But unless we do away with them we can use them 
for lesser used features. Few of my sites make use of author and 
author_email, so my users won't miss them much. But - as always - YMMV.
