If he's an editor, then use that element.
If he's a coordinator, I see it as "<collab
class='coordinator'>...</collab>".
If he's a contributor, then he's what is called a 'collaborator'. Use
the collab element.

Both, editor and translator, under 'editor' and 'collab' elements.

It already does through the use of the 'class' attribute. If the
stylesheets are or not doing something with that is another question
we can discuss.

As I said, I think it's only needed some customization on our
stylesheet...
