no-string alternate

OK, here’s the no-string possibility …

Generic section:

<general>
   <contributors>
      <rule type="et al" min-authors="3" use-first="3"/>
   </contributors>
   <names and="text" initialize-with="." sort-separator=",">
      <rule type="print-original-script" scope="bibliography" 

prefix=" " position=“after”/>























And then a bib template:

      <template name="book">
         <author/>
         <date prefix=" (" suffix=") "/>
         <title/>
         <publisher prefix=", "/>
         <access prefix=", "/>
      </template>

Any opinions? The “rule” elements are particularly new ideas, so am
uneasy about it.
