RE: [newsml-2] People's names

There are various cases, eg:

-  "JFK" is both a set of initials and a nickname.

-  "MJW" (my initials) is just a set of initials and 
   is never used for anything.

I guess initials are a kind of "part" of a name and in 
some cases are also a nickname, ie an informal name.

How would you represent initials? As a part (like a nickname) or role
(scope I
guess)?
