<anonymous> Anonymous

Placeholder for the name of a contributor where the actual name is unknown or not disclosed.

Usage/Remarks

Many journal tag sets model this element as an EMPTY placeholder, which is used to generate “anon.”, “Anonymous”, or similar text. However, a few tag sets expect content for this element, with such text as “Anonymous but attributed to Francis Bacon”. Therefore, the Archiving Tag Set (unlike Publishing) uses a mixed content model for the element <anonymous>, so that content can be inserted when necessary.
