Subject: <honorific> presentation


One of the optional elements within an <author> element is <honorific>.  My 
first inclination for that was to use it as the person's title, eg, 
"President", "Chairman", etc.  However, the standard XSLT stylesheet is 
appending a period after it.  That implies that it's for "Mr", "Dr", etc., 
although in those cases I would think the source should have the period, not 
the stylesheet.

Is there a better way to support author titles other than editing the 
<honorific> template to not create the period?  If not, what are the thoughts 
on not inserting the period and having that go in the source instead of the 
stylesheet?

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
