Maybe BibTeX-like syntax will work, i.e. something like \author{Albert Einstein} and \author{Einstein, Albert} would produce same output determined *only* by house class? Then house classes could process \author declarations and extract, if required, both Albert Einstein in title page and A.~Einstein in the running head? Actually BibTeX has a very subtle algorithm of dealing with author names; I think it is possible to reimplement it in TeX for journal styles. Good luck -Boris Home page
