The proposed solution is interesting. Here below are
comments/modification suggestions based on our clients needs.


1. Providing a way to describe the name of a person author

   The following content model seems more appropriate to be able to
   describe for a person author with a name, affiliation and address.
   This structure doesn't complicate the content model, rather it
   simplifies it.

   One of:
 
     * Zero or more of:
           o personname
           o address
           o affiliation
           o contrib
           o email
           o personblurb
     * Zero or more of:
           o address
           o affiliation
           o contrib
           o email
           o orgdiv


2. Applying the content model to more elements

   In http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1084491&group_id=21935&atid=384107
   the following elements were mentioned:
     * corpauthor
     * corpcredit
     * contractsponsor
     * confsponsor

   Could the proposed solution also apply to contractsponsor and
   confsponsor?


3. About org vs orgdiv

   Would an organization author with an address always be an "orgiv"?

   For such an organization author (not a division ie the main body)
   for which one has to state the address, would it be possible to have
   something like:
   
     * Zero or more of:
           o address
           o affiliation
           o contrib
           o email
           o org
           o orgdiv

   This leads to discuss the relationship between the (new) org and
   (already existing) orgdiv elements. But I would like to have input on
   those proposals first.
