> Also, aren't positional names (first, last) too presentational without describing the data? For instance, replace FIRST with GIVEN and LAST with FAMILY. (This might make the DTD more reusable in countries that don't order their names the same as most western countries as well.)

Indeed. In fact, the Right Thing turns out to be CommonName and Surname;
my CommonName is "John Cowan" and my Surname is "Cowan".  See the
