[jats-list] <contrib> insights welcome

["Sproat, Eliza X esproat@xxxxxxx" <jats-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

First time posting to list. New to role--incumbent left at head of pandemic.
Comfortable with the why of XML; look forward to growing skills in the how.
Would appreciate your ideas about the <contrib> tag.

Fixing errors returned by the PMC Style Checker to develop a template that
will be used downstream (for the xslt). This strategy has so far yielded
decent results. For example, an external-supplied xml file (jats 1.3)
initially returned a valid DTD (joy) along with 20 errors and 18 warnings.
After working through errors, new PMC result now indicates 11 errors and no
warnings. Feels like progress. Am a bit *familiar with the <contrib> tag, but
not much as I would like. Seek your input if you have any.

Sample of PMC-returned errors:
133: <string-name name-style="western">
> ^
> error: contrib content check: <contrib> must have one of the following:
[collab, collab-alternatives, name, name-alternatives, anonymous]. (Tagging
Guidelines) see
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/pmcdoc/tagging-guidelines/article/tags.html#
el-contrib
> Go to the next error
show ....
143: <contrib-id authenticated="true"
contrib-id-type="orcid">https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9010-2865</contrib-id>
> ^
> error: contrib content check: <contrib> must have one of the following:

====Sample original XML====
<string-name name-style="western">
						<given-names>Eileen</given-names>
						<surname>Rogers</surname>
					</string-name>
					<x xml:space="preserve">, </x>
					<xref ref-type="aff" rid="AFF10">
						<sup>10</sup>

				</contrib>
				<contrib contrib-type="author">

						<given-names>Michaela</given-names>
						<surname>Praus</surname>
					</string-name>
					<x xml:space="preserve"> &amp; </x>
					<xref ref-type="aff" rid="AFF11">
						<sup>11</sup>
					</xref>
				</contrib>
				<contrib contrib-type="author" corresp="yes">
					<contrib-id contrib-id-type="orcid"
authenticated="false">https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9010-2865</contrib-id>
					<string-name name-style="western">
						<given-names>Mikhail A</given-names>
						<surname>Rojavin</surname>
					</string-name>
					<xref ref-type="corresp" rid="COR1">*</xref>
					<xref ref-type="aff" rid="AFF9">

					</xref>
				</contrib>

I am looking for ways to resolve the <contrib> errors without mangling the
data. Any tags I might add would seem to muddy the intent of the original. I
already played around with a couple of things (order of
authenticated=bfalseb ahead of contrib-id-type; and seeing what happened
when bfalseb replaced with btrueb) but neither improved the situation.

Thank you,
E. Sproat

* for example, colleague helped me see that <contrib-group> requires <contrib>
tag nested between when <collab> tag present.
