I fully agree that other ways of arranging authors and contributors
are possible and reasonable, but no one has demonstrated a document
that format-08 can't cover.
The Atom Syndication Fformat spec has two authors and many contributors.
Limiting to one author, you can't distinguish between the authors and
contributors.
+1 on allowing multiple atom:author
-1 to dropping atom:contributor
-1 to renaming atom:author
(I did already say I was +1 on having deterministic content model and
according care to element ordering but that's not really the point here)
