Sometimes you're too generous, Norm :)

Do you really want to allow more the 1 personblurb?  Also it's enough to
have 1 affiliation, 1 email, 1 address.  Your proposal will it make easy
to produce weird documents by accident.  Please, also force a sane
sequence:

     personname, personblurb?, email?, affiliation?, address?

Writer not happy with the default can easily customize the DTD.

[Whoever thinks he has to "offer" more than 1 email address should stick
it in personblurb and tell the user what's up with this special email
address.]
