Sorry, Norm. It came off the top of my head and was more a response to your 
example: <name>Norm Walsh</name>
versus the current firstname, othername, surname, etc. set. At the risk of 
added complexity, perhaps a more well considered variant like 
<simplename>Norm Walsh</simplename> in addition to the current tag set 
would be worth thinking about. Where this fits in the larger picture? I'd 
have to do a fair amount of studying up to have anything intelligent to say 
on that front.
