`names` | elements which refer to named persons, places, organizations etc.

Attributes:

`key` | provides an alternative identifier for the object being named, such as a database record key.
| Datatype: CDATA
| Values: any string
| Default: #IMPLIED

Example:

    <name type='place'>Montaillou</rs>
    is not a large parish.
    At the time of the events which led to
    <name type='person' key=BXII>
    Fournier's</rs> investigations,
    the local population consisted of between 200 and
    250 inhabitants.

Note | The value may be a unique identifier from a database, or simply a more explicit name for the referent. Its purpose is only to record an identification; if the analysis leading to the identification is to be recorded as well, the analytic tags described in chapter 16 should be used in addition or instead.

`reg` | (regularization) gives a normalized or regularized form of the name used.
| Datatype: CDATA
| Values: Any string of characters.
| Default: #IMPLIED

Example:

    At the time of the events which led to
    <name type=person reg='Benedict XII, Pope of Avignon
    (Jacques Fournier)'>Fournier's</rs> investigations,
    the local population consisted of between 200 and
    250 inhabitants.

Note | In providing a `regularized' form, no claim is made that the form in the source text is incorrect; the regularized form is simply that chosen as the main form for purposes of unifying variant forms under a single heading.
