[kde-doc-english] formatting question for <author> sections

Hello,
While preparing a new version of the KMyMoney handbook, I've noticed
that the <author> sections are not consistent, in that some use entities
<author> &author.name; &author.name.mail; </author>
and some are fully written out
<author>
<firstname>author</firstname>
<surname>author</surname>
<affiliation>
<address><email>author at wherever.net</email></address>
</affiliation>
</author>
What I find interesting, is that in the first case, the displayed
handbook page only has the author's name, not his email address, but in
the latter case, it shows both name and email. I've tried several
variations, and the email address only shows up with the full
<affiliation><address><email> format. (The .mail entities are all
defined with just <email>user at host</email>.)
I suppose it is not really important whether an author's email address
shows up at chapter and section headings, but I like consistency, and
I'm curious if this is a known issue and whether there is any point in
adding <affiliation><address> around the <email> either in the
contributor.entities file, or just within the <author> sections in the
docbook files.
Thanks.
Jack
