Well, there is a lot of discussion in the literature on this topic. A few
good examples, biased towards my thinking, could be:
[1] Stowasser and Hoffmann, "What Do the Kohn-Sham Orbitals and
Eigenvalues Mean?", J.Am.Chem.Soc. 121 (1999) 3414-3420.
[2] Baerends, Theor.Chem.Acc. 103 (2000) 265-269.
Have a nice day,
Mikael J.
