Use the source, Luke.

In the 4.3 b5 modules,


<!ENTITY % author.element "INCLUDE">
<![%author.element;[
((personname|(%person.ident.mix;)+),
   (personblurb|email|address)*)>
<!--end of author.element-->]]>

and

<!ENTITY % person.ident.mix
   "honorific|firstname|surname|lineage|othername|affiliation
    |authorblurb|contrib %local.person.ident.mix;">

So affiliation is still allowed in author as of 4.3b5, from September 2003.

Check to see where your document strays from these.

I believe the docs come with a disclaimer that they're 'in progress' or the
like.
