Ok...

So the process then is that I add all the contacts in the text (if I need to reference
them in the text somewhere) and then create a section and add a (sub)set of contacts that
are then rendered differently?

This also means I can't put attribution here? I.e. "Sam wrote section 5", because that
would need to be in a <t> ?

Just generating such a section with all the given metadata would make the element more
useful (but IMO)
