[tcs-lc] For completeness - handling of ex authors

[Sally Hinchcliffe]

While we're raising hopefully minor issues - I mentioned this to 
Roger (and I think we discussed it last week) and I know this is in 
his 'do' list but I thought I'd get it out on to the list anyway

At the moment 'ex' authors are handled a bit clumsily - basically in 
'Reckitt ex Coleman' the annotation suggests that the 'ex' should be 
atomised in the same way as Messrs Reckitt and Coleman so you end up 
with three agent names: Reckitt, Coleman and 'ex'. Everyone who's 
seen this has said 'yuck'. Talking it over with Roger we thought this 
could be handled with either an attribute or an extra element (there 
seems to be a design backlash against attributes these days for some 
reason)

This would have to be optional so if it went into a later version it 
wouldn't break backwards compatibility but I think if it could make 
it into the final voting version it would aid acceptance of the 
schema
