More of a long term thing, but I think we should have Author-IDs to 
allow for multiple people of the same name.

I think that maybe that date/time shouldn't be in the article as if we 
plan to introduce GPG digital signatures we don't want to add data 
to the article which will break the GPG data. (Perhaps we should 
have a post-submision section which can contain details which 
should be removed from the article in order to verify the signature)
