Corresponding author

Identify the corresponding author by adding a corresp to the relevant contrib element with a value of yes

The corresp attribute may only be used on individual authors, not on collaboration groups.

If the corresp attribute is included, a valid email element must be included as a child of the contrib element.

Multiple contrib elements can be marked as the corresponding author but there can be only one email element per contrib element.
