author — An author of a publication
The author element contains the name
of an author of a work or publication. It may also reference a
previously-defined name through its name attribute. In this case, the element will
be processed and displayed as if it were actually the referenced name.
name
The name attribute contains
the id of a name element.
If an author element
specifies this attribute, it should not have any content. In
other words, there should be a single tag with a reference
(<author name="joe.smith"/>)
instead of two tags enclosing content
(<author>Joe Smith</author>).
