Comment (by tbrooks):
Note that in the below correspondence we see that SPIRES and INSPIRE
behave differently on names like
Foncesca Mota, David
SPIRES appears not to care whether we put the 2nd name with the 3rd, or
with the first (which surprised me!)
INSPIRE does care.
This may not be crucial, but it is important to many users. Standardizing
the metadata is possible, but not ideal.
