For names, I think the proper way would be to represent their
different parts separately (as BibTeX does it implictly through
obscure syntax conventions); they could then be accessed individually
by style sheets.

For titles, one would have to add markup to identify the sort-key
portion, as you said. (But who would want to sort by titles anyway :-/.)
