Many of my Chinese colleagues also have an "English name" as well as a Chinese name; the English name isn't a translation or transcription of the Chinese name, its often completely different. I can also see the point of localized hrefs - again I have colleagues who may want to point to a Facebook profile page in English, and a RenRen one in Chinese. I guess the workaround at present is to use the element to do something like <author>王密 (Michelle Wang)</author> ... which is not completely ideal as you don't get different hrefs. > I don't now if this is too late for the current version, in which case please > log it as an issue for the future. > Changing it to allow localisation would mean a change to the schema - and at > least to Opera's implementation.

I presume the change would be to make Author multiple with xml:lang. I think a risk is that developers might reasonably interpret this as meaning "one <author> element for each person" rather than "one <author> element per locale". > > cheers > > Chaals > > -- > Charles McCathieNevile Opera Software, Standards Group > je parle français -- hablo español -- jeg lærer norsk > http://my.opera.com/chaals Try Opera: http://www.opera.com >
