So the use case for strip-periods on cs:name-part is to normalize "Jane M. Doe" and "John N Doe" to "Jane M Doe" and "John N Doe". Then we still have...

Right. I'm wondering if it makes sense to allow strip-periods on cs:name-part and cs:et-al in CSL 1.0.1, but only forbid it on cs:text calling macros once we hit 1.1, as...

Do we still need "strip-periods" on cs:name-part if we introduce the "initialize" inheritable name option? That seems like the cleaner solution. (see #60)

I'm also inclined to keep strip-periods off cs:et-al for now. The use case adamsmith brings up in the Zotero forum thread linked to above doesn't make sense: using "et al."...

I think we should (as discussed above): - for CSL 1.0.1, have the CSL processor ignore "strip-periods" on cs:text calling a macro and manually touch up the affected styles to...

Yes, I should have made explicit that my solution above is dependent on #60 being given the green light.

The furthest I could trace this back is http://xbiblio.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xbiblio/csl/locales/locales-en-US.xml?revision=382&view=markup&pathrev=382 , which is before my time. Couldn't find a thread about it on the xbiblio mailing list, either. (I wondered about...

I think it makes sense to change the translations in the "en-US" and "en-GB" locale files, but existing styles would all need to be checked and either a) be switched...

I'll look into it. I love menial work.

I changed a bunch of styles: https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/commit/4bf538a3232db7ec38559b20d788cb850482c93e (I excluded styles that have a default-locale set to a non-English language, and some more complicated cases) I now realize, though, that the...
