Two bibmod questions: first initials and points after question marks, etc. in reference list

Two bibmod questions: first initials and points after question marks, etc. in reference list

[Renald Buter]

Hello,

I have a reference list in a bibtex file. For example, an entry such as this one:

@article{hirsch_does_2007,
	title = {Does the h index have predictive power?},
	volume = {104},
	shorttitle = {Does the h index have predictive power?},
	number = {49},
	journal = {Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences},
	author = {Hirsch, J.E.},
	month = dec,
	year = {2007},
	pages = {19193--19198}
},

Currently, this entry appears in my list of references as follows:

 Hirsch, J. (2007). Does the h index have predictive power?. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 104(49), 19193–19198.

I have two questions:
 - Notice that only the first initial appears? How to get both/all initials?
 - There is a point after the question mark, which is ugly. The same would go for a title ending in a '!', btw. How to get rid of it?

To be complete, here are my relevant settings:

%%% Bibliography

\usemodule[bib]
\usemodule[bibltx]

\setupbibtex[database={bibliography},sort=author]
\setuppublications[
  alternative=apa, % the default
  refcommand=authoryears, % e.g. (Buter 2010)
  sorttype=cite, % in order of citing
  criterium=chapter, % per chapter
  numbering=yes, % number the references
]

\setuppublicationlist[
  authoretallimit=10,
  artauthoretallimit=10,
]

\setupcite[
  pubsep=;
]

The answer is probably straightforward, so I apologise in advance.

With kind regards,

Renald

Should be
        author = {Hirsch, J. E.},
with a space between initials, otherwise bibtex thinks that Hirsch's
first name is ‘J.E.’.

I don't know how to do this, and I fear that it may be non-trivial --
the first place I'd look is the documentation for
\setuppublicationlayout in bibmod-doc.pdf, but I don't know if it has
the capability to conditionally change the layout based on the content
of the fields.

This is unnecessary, and as far as I know has no effect in recent
ConTeXt versions.
