It doesn't say anything about the *content* of personname, which in my
case is a set of initials (or any opaque moniker); i.e. it *isn't* a
first- or a surname, or any of the other allowed child elements.

I'm not that concerned with the fact that this is an approver. For that
I'd use::

    <othercredit>
        <personname>
            <firstname>John</firstname> <surname>Doe</surname>
        </personname>
        <contrib>Approver</contrib>
    </othercredit>
