Hi Bob,
Maybe I am missing it, but when I looked at your OrcID page (and the previous cited example), I didn’t see a current email address listed on that page. Or do you have to be logged into ORCID to see that?
An ORCID user has control over whether their various email addresses are visible to the public, trusted parties, or nobody. I see that a trusted party could be an organization, e.g. the IETF, so presumably there would be a way to make use of that. (I think enough people know my email address already, so I have not set it public).

Of course, I would need to spruce up my ORCID presence (including giving current email addresses); I never spent the time to learn enough about that site (*).
Right now I was concerned about the “zero or one” on URIs, and I think I found a workaround.
(Actually, the ORCID fits *better* under email address, as the URI, if given, often points to an institutional website; the RFCXML vocabulary doesn’t say what the point of the URI is. We could simply clarify that a URI under “Email” is to be interpreted as a persistent pointer to an email address.)
Grüße, Carsten
(*) I would expect we’d have a wiki HOWTO that tells us how to have an ORCID presence as soon as we adopt ORCID as a recommendation…
