In DocBook <acronym>V4.0</acronym>, <sgmltag>Affiliation</sgmltag> will be removed
from some of the places in which it now occurs. Instead of
appearing inside <sgmltag>Author</sgmltag>, for
example, a new wrapper element will be created to hold
<sgmltag>Author</sgmltag>, <sgmltag>AuthorBlurb</sgmltag>, and
<sgmltag>Affiliation</sgmltag>.
