You might want to take a look at this: [Proposal for adding name-format markup to the CLDR] http://unicode.org/cldr/bugs/locale-bugs/future?id=177;user=guest Handling display/ordering of names across locales is complex enough (see the example of Irish naming in the above) that I suspect you're probably going to find it very difficult to put together portable markup for it. --Mike -- Michael(tm) Smith http://people.w3.org/mike/ http://sideshowbarker.net/
