We have both publisher and claimant tags but it seems (after an exhaustive survey of covering one whole page) that one of the simplest forms of entry has the two collapsed:

What should we do in a case like this? We could make publisher a valid child of claimaint

<claimant><publisher><pubName>Vantage Press, inc.</pubname><pubPlace>New York</pubPlace></publisher></claimant>

(on what to do about the punctuation, see #3 )

Or we could add some attribute on the publisher

<publisher isClaimant="true"><pubName>Vantage Press, inc.</pubname><pubPlace>New York</pubPlace></publisher>

I think the latter is easier to process.

Upon reflection isClaimant seems long to me, when claimant="yes" would do.

We will use the <claimant> tag only when there is an explicit claimant in the entry (usually meaning it's neither the publisher or the author). For other cases we'll use claimant="yes" on another tag.
