Re: [jats-list] how to describe <collab> in multiple languages

[Debbie Lapeyre <dalapeyre@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All--

> Can <name-alternatives> be changed to contain <collab> in it?

This is an interesting request. I can understand wanting a <collab>
in multiple languages or multiple scripts, but I am a little
uncertain that just adding <collab> is the way to go:

Can a <name> or a <string-name> ever be an alternative for
a <collab>? Or, if you used multiple collaborations would it always
be with other <collab>s?

So I ask the group:

 - Would it be better to just allow any mix (these are NOT
   enforcing Tag Sets after all):

     name-alternatives  (collab | name | string-name)+

 - Or to try to restrict the usage:

     name-alternatives  (collab+ | (name | string-name)+ )

 - Or to give <collab> its own alternatives:

     collab-alternatives  (collab+)

 - Or something else entirely?

What say you all?
