There is an inconsistency in the order of subproperties between Creator and Contributor: creator has 2.2 givenName and 2.3 familiyName (e.g. givenName comes before familyName), whereas contributor has 7.3 familyName and 7.4 givenName. This is relevant because XML schema definition is sensitive to the order of elements, e.g. for a XML serialization, the subproperties must appear in the proper order in the XML file, otherwise validation will fail. In fact, the XSD file lists givenName before familyName in the subelements of contributor.

Admitted, nothing in the documentation claims that the numbering of subproperties would indicate the proper order to produce the elements in the XML file. But it is at least unfortunate to suggest a wrong order by the numbering.
