So JATS would adequately cope with Leone Sextus Denys Oswolf Fraudatifilius

An omission in most element or field structures I have seen is any

I use my middle name (for irrelevant historical family reasons); Inspector
Morse used his surname. The one thing we can be dogmatic about is that
making assumptions into rules is always wrong 😃
