One was presented in another thread - according to the definition of
<footer>, it appears that authorship information is most appropriate
to put there. But sometimes the byline is placed inside the "header"
area, which is reasonably marked up with a <header>. So, it makes
sense to be able to nest the <footer> within the <header>.
