I didn't think it was possible to change, since e.g. D. E. Knuth, D.  
Knuth, and Donald Knuth are all recognized as the same person, but  
only one will be chosen for display.  If the user selects  
unabbreviated normalized name, but the author instance compared  
against is "D. Knuth", then "Knuth, D." is displayed; if compared  
against "Donald Knuth", then "Knuth, Donald" is displayed.  It's  
possible I've forgotten how the code works, though.
