Should the file-author be allowed to have multiple authors? #57

PyKED/ChemKED version

v0.1.5

Title question raised by Mike Burke's group at Columbia.

This seems fine to me. It could be the same format as the authors entry in the reference. The field name should also probably be changed to file-authors, if we make this change.

My only objection is that all the existing files will probably have to be rewritten to accommodate this.

yeah, definitely. It should be possible to have a list here, just like with the reference authors.
