Actually, there is a parameter for that dot.  If you set the stylesheet
parameter 'punct.honorific' to an empty string, it will disappear.  That is,
unless it is in a biblioentry, in which case the dot is added from the
'bibioentry.item.separator' parameter, which you probably don't want to set
to an empty string because it is used for many elements.
