Please create a new element <aff-id> for use inside Affiliation (<aff>).

The element <contrib-id> is used to hold ORCIDs or other contributor identifiers used to disambiguate contributors. We do the same with affiliations, so that a single institution can be identified, whether listed as “Ova” or “University of Virginia”, or a specific UVa campus.
We would like a place to store that ID.
Submitter Proposed Solution
We request that:

1. The <institution-id> element be added to JATS to satisfy this request.

2. That this new element be used within, at least, the mixed-content model of the Affiliation (<aff>), <institution>, and <funding-source> elements.
