--- Comment #16 from Peyton R <[email protected]> ---
Regarding "the user may believe they are changing the author identity - in
Tools > Options - but that will have no effect on the epub export and will not
be pulled into the dialog"

I wouldn't worry about the user misunderstanding this. When I (a user) set up
LibreOffice, I put as little information as possible (just my initials) into
the Tools-Options list because I don't want to include information about myself
in every document I create and (perhaps) send to others. Basically, I rarely
look in Tools->Options after that. It's only when I'm creating an ePub, which I
*do* want to associate with my author persona, that I want to provide
meaningful information (mainly my pen name and the title of the book, which is
not the same as the file name of the document). It's this information that I
want to fill in once (the first time I do File -> Export as EPUB) and to remain
the same when doing successive File --> Export Directly as EPUB). For this to
work, those values must be stored in the document, because I often work on
multiple stories with different titles "at the same time" (actually, in
overlapping days, weeks and months).

To further complicate matters, authors often write with different pseudonyms,
e.g. one name for "sweet" novels and another for "racy" novels, so we need to
be presented (in an obvious manner) with the opportunity to associate different
author names and titles with different ODT or DOCX documents.

Thank you for considering the needs of the "average Joe" or average Jane.
