[microformats-discuss] hReview should include a way to specify Author

[Chris Hibbert]

I added this question to the FAQ, but no one has responded there, so 
I'll ask the mailing list.

I've been formatting my book reviews (http://pancrit.org) using the 
hReview microformat, but there hasn't been any obvious way to tag the 
authors of the works.  I understand that hReview was trying to be more 
general, and therefore to cover product reviews, movies, restaurants, 
and so on, where there isn't an obvious author.  But I would have 
thought that book reviews were an important enough subset that allowing 
people to specify the author in a searchable way would be important.

How hard would it be to add an optional "author" tag?  What are the 
arguments against adding this useful marker?
