You may have seen some discussions about ORCIDs on the main IETF list.
Here's a concrete proposal to add them to rfcxml.
I propose to add a new sub-element to the author element called orcid.
Its formal definition would be text, just like email or uri, but the idea
is that it contains your ORCID, like this:
<author fullname="John Levine">
<organization/>
<address>
<postal>
<country>US</country>
</postal>
<email>standa...@standcore.com</email>
<orcid>0000-0001-7553-5024</orcid>
</address>
</author>
I realize you can put the ORCID URI in the URI field, or if you're
Carsten you can sneak it into the email field, but the idea is that the
contents of the <orcid> element is an ORCID and nothing else.
It'd be rendered as a line in the address, probably with a link to the
orcid.org site in the HTML, e.g.:
ORCID <a
href="http://orcid.org/0000-0001-7553-5024";>0000-0001-7553-5024</a>
As far as I can tell this would be backward compatible and should not be
hard to implement. The various markdown processors would have to add a
way to put in your ORCID but again that doesn't seem hard.
