<span class="quote">> Anyway, my whole comment can be simplified in one line of IRC text:

Implementing the feature would be very simple, but the ODF specification for
<meta:initial-creator>[1] is "The element specifies the name of the initial
creator of a document", which doesnt permit the addition of additional authors
to the element.
If this is integrated into the file properties dialog, then we would likely
need a dedicated line for authors and the ability to modify, add, and delete an
author. You should be able to add the current author, as well as an author that
can be typed out in a text field.
