27 * information is available.
28 * While according to the RSS2 spec, RSS2 author elements must contain only an
29 * e-mail address, Atom requires the person's name and the e-mail address is
30 * optional. Also, in reality, feeds often contain other information than what
31 * is specified in the specs. Syndication tries to find out what author
32 * information is contained and maps it to this representation.
