An additional thought:
If one did use the attribute "title" as below, in a schema, of course
the declaration of the attribute as used with the "author" element could
be a local declaration (perhaps with enumerated values such as "Mr",
etc.) while the "title" attribute used with book could be a global
declaration (or vice-versa, or both could be local). So one could
consider each "title" attribute as being used in a different context
within the same vocabulary - in the context of a person, and in the
context of a book. Alternatively, the attributes could be named
"PersonalTitle" and "BookTitle".
