I would agree if we had a better way to avoid all the repetition that
would lead to. However, the only proposal[0] I can remember that would
have done so has been rejected by the WG. I'm torn on whether to bring
this up (I'd like to see it done, but it's getting late), but looking
at the reasons given for rejecting PacePersonRef [1][2][3], recent
discussion of author, contributor and inheritance suggests that the
opposition may have been mistaken. See also [4].
