foaf

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.
