Although the above is accorsding to the JATS and BITS standard, brill.com has a currently a problem with loading XML using multiple <name>-elements within a single contributor. The workaround that - until further - notice needs to be applied is to use the <string-name>-element for each 2nd and next name. The sample above should thus be coded as:

<contrib contrib-type="author"><name-alternatives> <name name-style="eastern" xml:lang="ja-Jpan"> <surname>中西</surname> <given-names>秀彦</given-names> </name> <string-name name-style="western" xml:lang="en"> <surname>Nakanishi</surname> <given-names>Hidehiko</given-names> </string-name> <name name-style="eastern" xml:lang="ja-Kana"> <surname>ナカニシ</surname> <given-names>ヒデヒコ</given-names> </name> </name-alternatives> <xref ref-type="aff" rid="aff2">**</xref> </contrib>
