This is a structural change to the current model.

Currently, creation information is in the attributes author and specVersion.

In SPDX, these are in a single attribute creationInformation which contains this information. A previous version of the model used this approach.

in the current proposition, the creation information is handled by the author, created, populationMethod and specVersion attributes of the Document.
in case of multiple creations, isn't it a new document that was an edition of a previous document and that has new creation information?

Not really - we want to capture not only an individual that created the document, but also the organization and tool(s). One document with multiple creators (as opposed to multiple document versions).
