--- Comment #3 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
While normally I'm happy to edit Eyal's BZ musings back to existing issues ;-),
but in this case I think this is different from bug 90401, bug 105702, or bug
126360.

There the request is to have a single ODF document include meta:initial-creator
with multiple authors. And, we can already have multiple dc:creator stanzas
from each editor who comments on a document.

Currently to be treated as a different user you have to edit Tools -> Options
-> User Data to change your ident, OK and restart.

But here, I think Eyal was asking for the UI to support a single user's
authoring from their choice of pre-established "personas", for example one a
Benjamin instance, and one an Eve instance. Any mix of idents meeting user
preferences, available from their profile--but unique in the documents being
created.

So rather than writing out to ODF, this refactoring is what would be needed for
UI to be able to support selection of any of several predefined user
personas/identities available for use in a current LO session (probably needing
a restart).
