I believe that one advantage is adding a level of indirection for
journal naming: you can have, for example, one definition file which
defines JISN as ‘Journal of Inconveniently Sesquepedalian
Nomenclature’, and another defining it as ‘J. Inc. Ses. Nom.’, and
switch between different definition files according to publisher
requirements, space restrictions, and so on.
