Interesting question!  I don't think anyone has requested the ability to
distinguish among the corresponding authors in JATS before this.

To get this onto the agenda for the JATS Standing Committee please fill out
the form at:

Note that requests for changes to JATS are most likely to be persuasive if
accompanied by examples.

identify primary CAs in our submission and production systems, and use that
info for many purposes, including read & publish deal billing, proof delivery,
etc. In the final version of an article, we allow multiple authors to be
tagged for correspondence using @corresp="yes". Of course, this makes it
impossible to identify the *primary* corresponding author. As read & publish
deal eligibility based on the primary corresponding author's affiliation grows
in use, reporting via JATS on platforms like the OA Switchboard becomes
increasingly inaccurate. Same goes for JATS XML ingested by Dimensions,
CHORUS, etc. So it's becoming increasingly important to distinguish the
primary CA. We also need for Crossref to start identifying CAs in general, and
hopefully when they do, if primary CAs are tagged distinctly in JATS, Crossref
metadata will reflect this.
