I'm going to add an <authorPlace> element and also allow the isclaimant attribute on the <author>

<copyrightEntry id="GUI7" regnum="A190420">
    <author claimant="yes"><authorName>Curtis, Charles P.,
    jr.</authorName>,* <authorPlace>Ipswich,
    Mass.</authorPlace></author> &amp; <author
    claimant="yes"><authorName>Greenslet, Ferris</authorName>,*
    <authorPlace>Boston</authorPlace></author>. <title>The practical
    cogitator</title>. <author><role>selected and edited by</role>
    <authorName>C. P. Curtis, jr.</authorName></author> and
    <author><authorName>Ferris Greenslet</authorName></author>. ©
    <regDate date="1945-10-09">>Oct. 9, 1945</regDate>;
    <registrationNumber>A 190420</registrationNumber>.
  </copyrightEntry>

There's no problem with the repetition of the authors. It's what's in the entry and we want to be descriptive.
