yes, it's odd. The XML input uses a "Initials" element but I think your
suggestion is more accurate.
Thank you!

In DocBook 5.0, the element authorinitials can appear as children of

In retorspect, that does seem…odd.
<biblioentry xml:id="CR1">
<authorgroup>
<author>
<personname>
<authorinitials>P.</authorinitials>
<surname>Abad</surname>
</personname>
</author>
But so does that. I’d expect the “author initials” of P. Abad to be “PA”
or something. That’s really just an abbreviated first name.
I wonder if <firstname><abbrev>P.</abbrev></firstname> captures the semantics
better. Not that I especially like it, but…
Be seeing you,
