I am certainly with you there. but presumably one would have to mandate
<author>
<idno>....</idno>
<persName>John Doe</persName>
</author>
I must say, I much prefer the formulation of
<idno xml:id="a1" type="nldai">info:eu-repo/dai/nl/12456454</idno>
<idno xml:id="a2" type="openid">https://me.yahoo.com/johndoe61</idno>
<author corresp="#a1 #a2">
John Doe
</author>
(or whatever)
because every bibliography I see has the same author several times,
and I really don't want to have a repeated <idno> in several <author>
elements. It's just Wrong.
Similarly, I don't want to repeat the same info in every file. If
an author has an openid, I want that recorded once, and referred
to many times.
just call me an old-fashioned database guy.
