<link href="http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/collabname.html">collabname</link>,

Note that Mallard does not attempt to model the names of people, as the rules for

73
a name are needed for a domain-specific purpose, they can be included using elements
74
from external namespaces on the parent element.</p>
