Referees section could use 3 enhancements

1. Referees should include an option <title> or
<category> tag
- this could help for specifying such things as
"supervisors", "coworkers", "friends", "mentored",
"customers", "instructors", etc.

<referees>
<title>Supervisors</title>
<referee>..</referee>
</referees>

<referees>
<title>Peers</title>
<referee>..</referee>
</referees>

2. Optional length of time known, or dates/period for
each <referee>. It's common that employers want to
know how long a person has actually known you when you
use them as a reference.

<referee>
<name>
<firstname>Joe</firstname>
<surname>Schmoe</surname>
</name>
<title>Potato Farmer</title>
<organization>Idaho Schmoes Famous
Potatoes</organization>
<address>..</address>
<contact>
<email>Joe.Schmoe@IdahoScmoes.com</email>
</contact>
<period>
<from>
<date>
<month>June</month>
<year>2005</year>
</date>
</from>
<to>
<present/>
</to>
</period>
</referee>

3. E-mail, under <contact> should also have a
"location" attribute like phone does.

<contact>
<email
location="work">Joe.Schmoe@IdahoScmoes.com</email>
<email location="home">JSchmoe1234@Yeehaw.com</email>
</contact>

I grouped these together since they all seemed highly
related. hope that's alright.
