Actually, the stylesheets do have provision for localizing personal name
layout. Initially it was using a role attribute on the personname element,
as described here:
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PersonNames.html
You can specify three alternative styles:
"first-last"
"last-first"
"family-given"
Since then, the style designation was added to the locale files in the
element l:context name="styles" using the template name="person-name", with
a default value for English of "first-last".
All of these can be customized or extended in the template named
"person.name" in common/common.xsl.
