--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
Author identity gets recorded into documents and is used for authorship,
comments, view port & edit cursor positioning via IsOwnDocument():

meta:initial-creator, meta:creator-initials and multiple dc:creator tags while
editing/commenting.

If ODF accommodates it, then sure. Provide some ability for a user to have
multiple "identities". But should it be each with its own complete LO profile,
currated under one os/DE login account?  Or a lighter weight ability within
current user profile to have more than one dc:creator, meta:creator,
meta:creator-initials selectable. 

Guess it could be either selectable from File -> Properties if per document; or
 from Tools -> Options -> User Data with the identity lb selectable to fill the
first/last/initials fields with choice of identity.
