Comment (by nacin):

 In some themes, the author page will show specific information about an
 author. Often it might actually be their bio, link to their website, their
 photo/gravatar, a link to their twitter handle, what have you, followed by
 just a bulleted list of recent stories or something.

 Many themes won't have that. In that case, this would not be beneficial,
 but it won't hurt, either. But on sites where the author page *does* mean
 something, then this definitely provides a value to search engines.
