docbook: Thread: Appropriate tag for author's degrees or credentials

Is there a DocBook tag used for an author's credentials?  For example 
the "MD" in "Trapper John, MD" or the "PhD" in "John Dolittle, PhD."  I 
looked at the tags associated with <author>, but nothing jumped out at me.

I looked at this one, but it seems to be for prefixes to someone's name, 
like Dr. or Mr., rather than something that is appended to the end.
