Dear All, my 2c on this issue: citeproc-el supports per cite author suppression under the hood, but citeproc-org always maps "suppress author" mode citations to suppressing only the first cite, because my impression was also that this is a citation-level option. This is how the proposal on the citeproc-el wiki treats it too (which was, BTW, joint work with Denis Maier).
