Re: [docbook-apps] Complex parameters.
Do I want that level of detail in addresses?  No, but 
some might want or need it.  I included "perhaps" and "optional" in my 
suggestion. 8^)

 

If users request it, the DocBook Technical Committee could 
look at making sure it is not difficult to integrate xNAL as an optional module 
in DocBook 5.  But it would not be included by default.

Won't usage of xNAL affect the use of <orgname>, 
  <affiliation> and their respective progeny? Do you 
  really need that level of detail, particularly in regard to addresses?

Where is DocBook going?  Perhaps deferring to 
  an external standard such as 
xNAL, merged into DocBook 5 as an optional 
  module:
