Sounds good!  But please be aware that Bibulus is still undergoing
development and is not yet stable (although I hope the main features
of the DTD won't change).

A real example:

    <author>
      <name nametype="familylast">
        <given>Jan</given>
        <family>Rijkhoff</family>
      </name>
      <name nametype="familylast">
        <given>Dik</given>
        <family>Bakker</family>
      </name>
      <name nametype="familylast">
        <given>Kees</given>
        <family>Hengeveld</family>
      </name>
      <name nametype="familylast">
        <given>Peter</given>
        <family>Kahrel</family>
      </name>
    </author>

However, I'm not quite sure how best to specify several forms of the
same name -- for instance, a Russian author might conceivably have a
standard Latin-script form of his/her name that should be stored too.
One extra level of nesting will probably look somewhat crowded. :-(
