Re: [docbook] Rename firstname and surname?

[Scott Hudson <scott.hudson@flatironssolutions.com>]

I think xNAL defines it thusly:

<!ELEMENT PersonName       (PrecedingTitle*, Title*, FirstName*, 
MiddleName*, LastNamePrefix?, LastName*, OtherName*, FormerName*, 
Alias*, GenerationIdentifier*, Suffix*, GeneralSuffix?)>

If we are trying to align to an existing standard...

Best regards,
