D.1.4 Element author

D.1.4.1 Description

Describes the author of a function.

The author element includes full details about an author, and has a required ID attribute. This ID is a key which is intended to be unique to a particular author (it's not an SGML ID attribute which would be guaranteed unique, but which causes other problems in this case).
