Ah excellent, it is a very appropriate element behaviour.

I am patiently waiting to be able to test it.

The fact that asciiFullname is optional is good, because not all
non-roman native name people have decided precisely what to put in their
roman interpretation (ascii), so it is good that is optional.

For example, I just discussed with somebody from Greece who prefers
'Gkemou' for her name instead of earlier 'Gemou', even though the French
who read if would prefer to see it 'Guemou'  (the goal of translating
from the native language spelling to roman spelling is that the readers
of that roman spelling make it sound like the originally pronounced).
