What are you talking about? Please refrain from complaining your pet semantics aren't in the draft. Here are some simple questions, which you can answer by reading the example I gave, and reading the draft. http://www.imc.org/atom-syntax/mail-archive/msg15380.html Who is the author of that entry? Who are the contributors? There is no mention of 'byline'. You are complaining that you can't have multiple 'authors' for some definition of 'author', because of element cardinality. I observe that Ben Lund's example, with multiple dc:creator elements, was a failure. Multiple author elements failed the science journal use case, the basis of your original objection. format-08 works. I fully agree that other ways of arranging authors and contributors are possible and reasonable, but no one has demonstrated a document that format-08 can't cover. At this stage, changing the spec to suit religious preferences would be extremely arrogant. Robert Sayre
