[development] Multiple user aliases - Multiple user node ownership

[FGM]

Actually, I'd be tempted to say that in most cases, nodes should not have 
one author, but revisions should, and nodes be characterized by the set of 
the authors of the revisions. This is actually probably best for 
intellectual property issues. This would credit actual contributors more 
efficiently than the current system, where all goes to the latest modifier, 
as exemplified by the recent problem with the handbook reorganization, in 
which lots of authoring credit was thus lost.
