I have a long standing action item to revisit name and address markup.
The most often reported problem with the current markup is that there's
no way to associate an email address with a person independent of their
organizational affiliation.
No obvious right answer is occurring to me, so I thought I'd post my
thoughts and see what everyone else thinks. Comments, please.
Our current tags are
author ::=
((honorific|firstname|surname|lineage|othername|affiliation|
authorblurb|contrib)+)
affiliation ::=
(shortaffil?,jobtitle*,orgname?,orgdiv*,address*)
I think we can break "personname" out of this:
personname ::=
((honorific|firstname|surname|lineage|othername)+)
Then authors (editors, etc) might have this content model:
author ::=
((personname, personblurb, affiliation+, email+, address+))
Where personblurb replaces authorblurb.
Be seeing you,
norm
