Processing expectations
Suppressed. Many of the elements in this wrapper may be used in presentation, but they are not generally printed as part of the formatting of the wrapper. It merely serves to identify where they occur.
Future Changes
AuthorBlurb
and Affiliation
will be removed from the inline content of BookInfo
in DocBook V4.0. A new wrapper element will be created to associate this information with authors, editors, and other contributors.

will be discarded.
