Empty affiliation strings from PMCID

[dhimmel]

I think the problem is that there is a coded affiliation of A1 but neither of the authors are linked to that affiliation. If you have the author frontmatter XML handy, we could confirm this.

The only workaround I see is to assume that if there's a single affiliation that is not linked to any authors, we could assume it applied to all authors. Not sure how many articles it affects. If it affects many, perhaps this is something we could implement.

However, it would stop working if there were multiple affiliations, since we then couldn't match affiliation to author.

If there's only a single author and many affiliations, we could assume all affiliations applied to the author. Although perhaps there are situations this backfires. Don't know
