extend authors

Although I am not using it, I lve the new txp:authors tag and I believe that it could be extended so as to replace the rvm_privileged plugin. The new tag could work like:

<txp:if_authors name"john,mary,steve">
...
<txp:else />
...
</txp:if_authors>

Or even:

<txp:if_authors group="designer">
    <txp:authors wraptag="ul" break="li">
        <txp:author link="1" />
        (<txp:author_email />) 
    </txp:authors>
<txp:else />
    <txp:if_authors group="publisher">
        <txp:author link="1" />
    </txp:if_authors>
</txp:if_authors>

and possibly more relevant to the way I work.

<txp:if_authors group="publisher,designer">
    <txp:css format="link" name="future" />
<txp:else />
    <txp:css format="link" name="default" />
</txp:if_authors>

This actually is a general comment to include an if tag to all relevant tags – new and old. Although the examples above might look simplistic, the inventiveness of our users will probably use them in unexpected ways.
