Yes, use:
  <author>
     <firstname>Alexey</firstname>
     <surname>Eremenko</surname>
     <email>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</email>
  </author>

See http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/author.html for a more verbose 
example.

It's only <email>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</email>. (By the way, you can also use 
it inside a para.)
The standard stylesheets render it as <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. The text itself 
is clickable of course (a "mailto:"; scheme is automatically inserted.)

Good point! :-) To answer your question: There is a *semantic* difference. 
Rebecca noted already some points. I just want to highlight the official 
definitions, according to "DocBook: The Definitive Guide":

procedure: 
  A list of operations to be performed in a well-defined sequence

orderedlist:
  A list in which each entry is marked with a sequentially 
  incremented label

Although it looks the same in HTML and PDF, it doesn't mean it will be in 
the future too.

For example, according to the layout spec for our openSUSE manuals a 
procedure is rendered with bold numerals. An orderedlist has just normal 
style. It would be impossible to apply these different looks if we would 
use ordinary orderedlists only.


> As it looks the same in html output?

At the moment yes. But it's always good to be prepared for the future, 
isn't it? ;-)


Bye,
Tom
