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.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Complex parameters.
I'm 'abusing' docbook stylesheets, by using it for another schema.
One of the things I want, which Norm agreed isn't handled well in
docbook, is a way of handling names locally.
I say Walsh, Norm, you say Norm Walsh.
If we think of all the variations round the world, then it becomes
complex.
I'm looking for a way of specifying a parameter to indicate
the required order of presentation of a number of elements.
Any suggestions welcome.
TIA
regards
