Let's see; a quick idea:
<mads xmlns="http://www.loc.gov/mads">
<person>
<name>
<authority>
<givenname>Bill</givenname>
<familyname>Clinton</familyname>
</authority>
<variant type="alternate">
<givenname>William</givenname>
<familyname>Clinton</familyname>
</variant>
</name>
<related type="whatever">
<geographic>United States</geographic>
</related>
</person>
</mads>
Validate authority/variant (easy with the above structure), and leave
related uncontrolled?
