I'm currently working with an article that cites several tweets. If
anyone has handled this before, I'd appreciate a sanity check on the
markup that we're using to capture this information:

  <element-citation publication-type="tweet">
    <person-group person-group-type="author">
      <name>
        <surname>Zaman</surname>
        <given-names>L</given-names>
        <suffix>(@LuisZaman)</suffix>
      </name>
    </person-group>
    <year>2014</year>
    <date date-type="pub" iso-8601-date="2014-02-01T14:50">2:50 PM - 1
Feb 2014</date>
    <article-title>Surface sterilized PLA that was bsnappedb to expose
fresh filament not growing in LB @ryneches
@runforsushi</article-title>
    <uri>https://twitter.com/LuisZaman/status/429748626449903618</uri>
  </element-citation>

In particular, would it be more appropriate to somehow use
<name-alternatives> for the username, rather than `<suffix>`?

For presentation, there was a post by the MLA titled "How do I cite a
tweet?" that recently disappeared in a site reorganisation, but here's
the archived version:

Thanks in advance,
