I have thought several times about this. Authors name is shown in many places: * Page titles for their biographies * Author field in publication infoboxes * In cells in dynamic tables * While exporting in BibTeX, CSV... I think that every case is different, so, I'm open to suggestion about when to use "Firstname Lastname" or "Lastname, Firstname". Anyhow, this needs a change in how names are filled and probably it requires a new semantic property, or split name into two chunks (or 3 for middlename).
