I'm not sure that adding specific formatters for these use-cases is the  
best way forward. Most -- if not all -- citation formats I've been asked  
to look into, I've been able to achieve with combinations of existing  
formatters.

What would be more interesting to explore is a flexible way to format the  
authors, which is not as complicated as the custom name formatters.  
Perhaps something along the lines of

\format[authors(LastFirst,Abbr,NoSpace),RTFChars]{\author}

and please don't get hung up on the syntax: I really haven't thought it  
through.
