or we could try for a more flexible and explicit form of inheritance, such
as:
<feed>
<head>
<author id="foo">...</author>
...
</head>
<entry>
<author ref="foo" />
...
</entry>
</feed>
simple, explicit, allows (in an efficient manner) for the use case of half
the entries being authored by one person and the other half by another.
