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 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 e.g. exploded form: Viale don Luigi Sturzo first: V.le don Luigi Sturzo 2nd: V.le Luigi Sturzo 3rd: V.le L. Sturzo so name=Viale don Luigi Sturzo name:collapsable=1;3 name=hide=2 so... you are adding tips usefull to renderes about which part of the name collapse or hide but it's not a mandatory collapsation If you are the coder of a renderer you can chose to hide befor collapse or collapse before hide.. Let me know it make sense or not..
