Actually, given the importance of FOAF, particularly for social
networking stuff of which we want bibliographic solutions (like
Zotero) to evolve more into, this would seem non-controversial:
<author>
<Contribution>
<agent>
<foaf:Person>
<foaf:givenname>John</foaf:givenname>
<foaf:surname>Doe</foaf:surname>
</foaf:Person>
</agent>
<position>1</position>
</Contribution>
</author>
The FOAF developers are really good, too; am talking to them about
rationalizing their name model.
