Simon,

Someone posted a bug that sounds like your JS code in the Zotero  
forum. It’s related to author substitution on the MLA style. This  
reminds me, on this:

```
  <author>
    <substitute>
       <choose>
         <editor/>
         <titles/>
      </choose>
    </substitute>
  </author>

```

Did we agree to remove the “choose” wrapper?

Also, I noticed you have the short form of number “no”? What about  
"n", which is far more common?
