Don't really see a reason to split it off further?
One of the reasons that I've stuck with free-form text for denoting authors rather than using tags is precisely so I can try to clarify relative levels of contribution. I think being able to have multiple Author: tags -- each such author being a major author -- and also multiple Co-authored-by tags -- each such coauthor having made a relatively small contribution -- would be an adequate amount of distinction for almost all cases that I deal with. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
