Yes we could. But that would imply the need to relate somehow the <idno> 
and the corresponding <author> (there might be multiple authors), 
perhaps like this:

<idno corresp="#a1" type="nldai">info:eu-repo/dai/nl/12456454</idno>
<idno corresp="#a1" type="openid">https://me.yahoo.com/johndoe61</idno>

<author xml:id="a1">
    John Doe
</author>

which is possible but, to my eyes, less pretty than

<author>
     <idno type="nldai">info:eu-repo/dai/nl/12456454</idno>
     <idno type="openid">https://me.yahoo.com/johndoe61</idno>
    John Doe
</author>
