Re: Use "name" element?

Gerylyn,

The 'name' element is there for use IF you want to use it! There is no
compulsion to use it.

However because it is there, at some future date a researcher could do a
more granular markup for research purposes.

I have only used the name element for signatures and appellations in letters
etc.
