--- Comment #7 from Heiko Tietze <tietze.heiko at gmail.com> ---
MS Word (2010) allows to add multiple authors (issue: cannot enter "Foo,Bar" as
the text is taken as comma-delimited string; pro feature: the names can be
taken and checked against the address book) and those are saved [1] and when
loaded in LibO (5.4, old master) shown at Document properties as "Tietze,
Heiko;Foo;Bar". And the multiple authors are saved correctly [2] with our odt
format.

The use case is to insert a field with many authors. That works in Word [3]
(the part looks like a field in the document) but is loaded as text in LibO
[4]. However, inserting the author field works in LibO like a charm.

So I think we should go ahead and implement a simple way to extend the authors.

[1] core.xml <dc:creator>Tietze, Heiko;Foo;Bar</dc:creator>
[2] meta.xml <meta:initial-creator>Tietze,
Heiko;Foo;Bar</meta:initial-creator><dc:creator>Tietze, Heiko</dc:creator>...
[3] document.xml <w:t>Tietze, Heiko;Foo;Bar</w:t>
[4] content.xml <text:span text:style-name="T1">Tietze,
Heiko;Foo;Bar</text:span>
