There is a "?" missing in the alternate condition tag <?$authors.@count=1?>
Also, perhaps one small simplification could be:
<$authors.normalizedName.@firstObject/><$authors.@count<1?><?$authors.@count<3?>
and <$authors.name.@secondObject/><?$authors.@count<4?>,
<$authors.name.@secondObject/>, and
<$authors.name.@thirdObject/><?$authors.@count?>,
<$authors.name.@secondObject/>, <$authors.name.@thirdObject/>, et
al.</$authors.@count?>

It depends on what you want exactly. If you want the same template for editors,
you could simply use "authorsOrEditors" instead of "authors". Otherwise, you
can specify a different format using something like
<$authors?>
template for authors
<?$authors?>
template for editors
</$authors?>
