titles in place of missing authors

Hi,

I've started to implement support for having titles in citations and
bibliographies instead of missing authors. The current cvs version
should get it right except that the resulting title may be incorrectly
rendered in terms of font weight or posture. The XSL stylesheets do
not have any special support for this yet, and the DSSSL
implementation may still be incorrect.

If you have some time on your hands, please test this feature to get
the formatting right and to detect the pathologic bordercases (like
missing authors in a subsequent multiple citation and so on). In order
to activate this feature, please change one of your bibliography
styles to carry an *empty* <AEMPTY> element. The logic is:

- missing <AEMPTY>: nothing will be printed in place of missing
  authors
- empty <AEMPTY>: the title will be printed instead
- <AEMPTY> containing a string: the string will be printed instead of
  the missing authors.

regards,
Markus
