Description

An author has requested that her name not be displayed with a period after it in the RFC header. Her full name is "Q Misell". Currently xml2rfc places a period after her first name because it creates an initial from <author fullname="Q Misell" role="editor" surname="Misell">:

Current:

Automated Certificate Management Environment              Q. Misell, Ed.
Internet-Draft                                                  AS207960
Intended status: Standards Track                         14 January 2025
Expires: 18 July 2025

Requested:

Automated Certificate Management Environment               Q Misell, Ed.
Internet-Draft                                                  AS207960
Intended status: Standards Track                         14 January 2025
Expires: 18 July 2025

Something to consider, however, is what a code change to support this would do with author entries where a period is not provided in the initials attribute because xml2rfc adds them automatically.
