I would like to see some XSLT to produce a special authorship page for translators. The number of translators working on a document far, far outnumber the number of authors, and putting all these names on the front page makes the document more difficult to read. Readers will likely skip the front material such as the first introductory section if they can't see it quickly. I would propose that we move author, editor, and translator names to this colophon area, linked prominently from the front page with a name like "Contributor Credits." "Colophon" is probably not right since that usually occurs at the end of a work, and I would like to see this linked from the front.
The copyright for a work should generally be held by the author(s) only, which might take some additional scut-work. I see some docs where we have many names listed, including editors and translators.
