Re: [jats-list] Preferred pronouns for authors

["B Tommie Usdin btusdin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <jats-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mark --

If you are using Green (archiving) you could use <named-content> inside
<string-name>:

<contrib contrib-type="author">
<string-name><given-names>>m</given-names> <surname>Isobe</surname>
<named-content content-type="pronouns">they/them</named-content>
</string-name></contrib>

That's a little awkward, but perhaps less so than a name-alternative that
contains only the pronouns.

that would allow any author to add this to their name. So far the best option
I have been able to work out is to slightly misuse the <name-alternatives>
