Good catch, but I gave a bad example. How would you propose that the 
display of organization names be for:

<author initials="P." surname="Hoffman" fullname="Paul Hoffman">
<organization ascii="Example Corp.">???? Corp.</organization>
</author>

Your text above says the ASCII-only identifier "is required", but Joe's 
top-level question is "how are these things rendered in the output 
formats?".
