Its ugly to look at, but crucial for the indexing process. In a
somewhat related project I have two seperate name fields; one for sort
order (Last, First) and one for print order. The sort order field is
used for the searching and indexing purposes, whereas the other is used
other cases.

Ugh. No idea on that one.

This is a good rule -- I'll add it to the submission guideline.
