Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: Change the format of author to group related authors together from a
company. One
does not need the capability to list multiple companies and web sites
together in the
author element, since there can be many authors listed in the softpkg
element. The
suggested elements cardinality changes will make parsing the XML much
simpler
and reduce code footprint, and the XML more understandable.
Current format


<!ELEMENT author
( name
| company
| webpage
)* >


New format


<!ELEMENT author
          ( name*
          , company?
          , webpage?
