Author in Generated Table of Contents?

["David J. Rubin" <roobdj@mac.com>]

I have a <book> that contains several <article>s, each written by a different <author>.  I would like to include the author information along with the title in the XHTML-1_1 generated table of contents.  Something like

The Snows of Kilimanjaro . . . Ernest Hemingway

It seems <author> is not one of the elements subject to ordinary inclusion in the generated TOC?  Tried working through Chapter 10 of the Docbook XSL-Complete Guide, with emphasis on the section "Adding elements to a TOC," but the snippet code there no longer appears to closely resembles the current code, and my own humble efforts to modify autotoc.xsl were futile.

My existing doc structure is basic:  

book / article / title

(book / article / subtitle)?

book / article / info / author / personname / firstname, surname 

book / article / para...

...

Am using epub and XHTML-1_1.  

Can use CSS to generate the separator between title and author (leader dots in above example), just need the author to appear with an identifying ID= in the XHTML.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!
