  <title>Comparison to Other Formats</title>

  <p>The <code>name</code> element fulfills the same role as numerous DocBook
  elements, including
  <link href="http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/collabname.html">collabname</link>,
  <link xref="http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/personname.html">personname</link>, and
  <link xref="http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/publishername.html">publishername</link>.
  Note that Mallard does not attempt to model the names of people, as the rules for
  how to display names from their constituent parts vary considerably.  If parts of
  a name are needed for a domain-specific purpose, they can be included using elements
  from external namespaces on the parent element.</p>
