in the italian mailing list we are facing new (and some old) users
arguing should be better to enter in the name tag the collapsed form of
the name.
I'm trying to persuade this people this is the wrong way 'cause don't
exist any way to explode names collapsed.
I'm proposing to add 2 extension

EdoM,
I'm proposing to add 2 extension to the name tag to mark which part of
the name could be collapsed or hidden
in the same moment you could give a priority
Your idea of referecing parts of the name tag with numbers is error-
prone because (a) people will not always agree on how names are
Perhaps this would work:
name=Viale don Luigi Sturzo
short_name=V.le don Luigi Sturzo
very_short_name=V.le L. Sturzo
If short_name and very_short_name are present then use them, otherwise the
renderers can use whatever automated algorithm they like.
This would handle with all the corner cases

In my eyes it would be a great idea to develop some not-too-complex
XML document where such rules can be formalized. We could then have
our renderers read that document and use it, and host it on the Wiki
so everyone can put in their collapsation

If you want to have shortened names in the database, then I would put
them in there explicitly, like so:
name=Viale don Luigi Sturzo
name_short_1=V.le don Luigi Storzo
name_short_2=V.le Luigi Sturzo
name_short_3=V.le L.Sturzo
But generally I believe the renderer

I think I've demonstrated that that can work pretty well, without
needing to know the language - because 9a) it doesn't matter if you get
the odd extra hit on occasion,
