Re: [jats-list] Preferred pronouns for authors

["Imsieke, Gerrit, le-tex gerrit.imsieke@xxxxxxxxx" <jats-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tommie and Mark,

Both approaches seem sensible to me. Maybe use @content-type instead of 
@specific-use on string-name in Mark's variant.

The JATS standing committee might consider adding @pronouns to name and 
string-name, should someone file a request for that. An attribute, on 
the other hand, has the disadvantage that it cannot hold translations so 
well. On the other hand, I haven't seen anyone supply translations to 
their pronouns.

In any case, the recommended practice(s) within the existing vocabulary 
can be included in the tag library documentation, or it can be dealt 
with on the JATS4R level (https://jats4r.org/authors-and-affiliations).

Although the initial goal is to provide this in a footnote for just the corresponding author, I'd like to tag this in a more general way 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> tagging:
