Looks ok to me, but have you considered whether an attribute is the
best way to represent the prefix and suffix? What if they actaully
require some formatting in some environments?
I originally had them as elements, but a long time back decided to
change to attributes. My reasoning was that a) I can't really imagine
needing that, and b) allowing it adds complexity all around. Imagine,
for example, creating a GUI editor for it.
Also, ODF has prefix and suffix attributes in some places already.
That said, it's not like I'm 100% confident in these decisions. I think
they involve design trade-offs, and am not always sure I'm choosing
right (which is why these emails!).
