The JATS XML vocabulary for journal articles does a few things correctly: - A person does not need to have a <surname>, they can have only <given-names> as folks may do in Indonesia. - A person can have multiple <surname>s (partronymic etc.) - The <given-names> element can also repeat, so you can put all your given names into one “Kenneth Pritchard Carnu” or split them up into 3 <given-names> elements. Good for flexible tagging and not so good for consistency of tagging. —Debbie P.S.
