In that way you would loose the order of the components. I would like
to have the effect that is achieved by this XSLT template:

<xsl:template match="author">
  <xsl:apply-templates
	select="honorific|firstname|surname|lineage|othername"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template
	match="honorific|firstname|surname|lineage|othername">
  <xsl:choose>
	<xsl:when test="position() != 1"> </xsl:when>
  </xsl:choose>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

I think I will do something with \ignorespaces and adding the explicit
space. When the interjections follow a more complicated pattern,
author will have to be saved and processed several times.
