LOC authority record display

A bibliographic record has a detail view which presents an easy to read display. A MARC view is available in a separate tab. Authority records, on the other hand, immediately display the authority record in a tabbed MARC view. It would be nice if Authority records had a similar type of display as Bibliographic records in both the staff interface and OPAC. 

Library of Congress has a combined view with a brief view that is formatted for easy reading and a MARC view below (attached screenshot).
