Re: [xml-dev] Implement data rules in application code?

[Peter Flynn <peter@silmaril.ie>]

So JATS would adequately cope with Leone Sextus Denys Oswolf Fraudatifilius 
Tollemache-Tollemache de Orellana Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache?

An omission in most element or field structures I have seen is any 
indication of which name you are conventionally addressed by (or your 
preference).

I use my middle name (for irrelevant historical family reasons); Inspector 
Morse used his surname. The one thing we can be dogmatic about is that 
making assumptions into rules is always wrong 😃
