   In the old scheme, person objects were used for single persons, and a
   separate \code{"personList"} class with corresponding creator
   \code{personList()} for collections of these.  The new scheme employs
   a single class for information about an arbitrary positive number of
   persons, eliminating the need for the \code{personList} mechanism.
+  The \code{comment} field can be used for \dQuote{arbitrary} additional
+  information about persons.  Elements named \code{"ORCID"} will be
+  taken to give ORCID identifiers (see \url{https://orcid.org/} for more
+  information), and be displayed as the corresponding URIs by the
+  \code{print()} and \code{format()} methods (see \bold{Examples}
+  below).
