I do not really understand why the processor should remove a label from a macro if this macro is used for sorting. There may be cases in which the label is required for sorting. That's actually the reason for having a macro attribute for the key element -- to consent the maximum flexibility when sorting references, is it not? > 2) Should name variable labels be ignored when applying subsequent > author substitution? > > Previously, citeproc-js would produce > > Jones, Jim. 2011a. *A Title*.

I tend to agree with the Zotero consensus and I'm actually changing the previous way citeproc-hs was dealing with the subsequent-author-substitute option.
