[jats-list] Authors identified by initials only

["DUNN, Mark mark.dunn@xxxxxxx" <jats-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm seeking some advice or precedent on capturing authors who are identified
only by their initials. This is something we see sometimes in 19th-century
journals.

Assuming we can identify the initial for the surname, I'm thinking of
something like (for author "F.N.L."):

<name>
  <surname>L.</surname>
  <given-names>F.N.</given-names>
</name>

or perhaps

<name>
  <surname initials="L"/>
  <given-names initials="FN"/>
</name>

Does anyone have a recommendation or established practice for this situation?

Many thanks,
Mark
