This would also cause a breakdown at the link resolver level.<br>
<br>
Again, only using the OpenURL as a point of reference...<br>
<br>
Something like:<br>
&lt;span class=&quot;au&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;aufirst&quot;&gt;&lt;span
class=&quot;auinit1&quot;&gt;L&lt;/span&gt;orin&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span

would be ideal.&nbsp; You could use any subset of that, as well (well,
except aufirst or auinit1, of course) for simplicity.&nbsp; &quot;au&quot; will
be the most problematic, however, for the reasons Alf states.<br>
