Re: [docbook-apps] Complex parameters.

Do I want that level of detail in addresses?  No, but some might want or need it.  I included "perhaps" and "optional" in my suggestion. 8^)

 

If users request it, the DocBook Technical Committee could look at making sure it is not difficult to integrate xNAL as an optional module in DocBook 5.  But it would not be included by default.

Won't usage of xNAL affect the use of <orgname>, <affiliation> and their respective progeny? Do you really need that level of detail, particularly in regard to addresses?

Where is DocBook going?  Perhaps deferring to an external standard such as
xNAL, merged into DocBook 5 as an optional module:
