RE: [EP-underground] changing the way multiple authors is displayed in a citation.

Thanks for doing this.  I really didn't expect you to take the time 
To send me some code.  I appreciate this.

that's a whacky format, but here you go. You should be able
to modify it to add honourfic or lineage if you want.

sub local_name_render
 {
 	my( $session, $field, $value, $alllangs, $nolink ) = @_;
 	# the important bit's are $session and $value
 
 	my $f = $session->make_doc_fragment;
        my $first = 1;
        foreach my $auth ( @{$value} )
        {
                my $id = $auth->{id};
                my $name = $auth->{main};
 		# only care about the name 
 		my $namestr = $name->{given}." ".$name->{family};
		if( $first )
		{
			# special "look" for first name
			$namestr = $name->{family}.", ".$name->{given};
		}
 		# (ignoring honourific and lineage)

                if( !$first )
                {
                        $f->appendChild( $session->make_text( ", "));
                }
                $first = 0;
                $f->appendChild( $session->make_text( $namestr ) );
        }

        return $f;
}
