Are LCCN Permalinks available for Library of Congress authority records?

Not at this time, but the Library is exploring options for adding this functionality. Now that would actually be huge. If my software can look up an authority LCCN, and get back MARCXML for the complete MARC authority, it would make it so much easier to do so much more with authorities in software that handles existing bib records. Now, provide me a machine-actionable interface where I can keyword search the authorities too (including LCSH and NAF), and I’d be able to do so much.
