Hi DJ,

I have some random comments about http://www.gedasymbols.org/style.html
in the symbol attributes section.

        The email= attribute as obsoleted awhile ago and merged with
author.  I think the reasoning was to limit the number of attributes,
to handle multiple e-mail addresses, and keep all contact information
together.  From the master attribute doc:

        The author attribute identifies the name of the author of this
        symbol and their e-mail address. This attribute is optional,
        but it is nice to know who created which symbols. It also serves
        the purpose of known who to contact if there are questions about
        the intent(s) of the symbol. This attribute is free form and
        it can also include people's names who modified the symbol as
        well as multiple e-mail addresses. It is probably also a good
        idea to obfuscate the e-mail address so it is not harvested for
        spam purposes.

                Example: author=Ales Hvezda ahvezdaATgeda.seul.org 

        Whether this is the right thing to do is always debatable.

        I like these.  I will add them to the master attribute doc.

        Also, what happens if symbols on the gedasymbol.org site do not
have these attributes?  Are such symbols disallowed, nuked, or just
ignored?

                                                                -Ales
