The address dialog displays names in the Domino directory as Lastname<space><comma><space>firstname.  That extra little space between the lastname and the comma might seem trivial, but it doesn't make sense to users when searching and it drives me nuts.  Can we just lose the extra space before the comma?
 
This isn't a big deal, but, like speling errers, it's annoying.  Is it just me?  There's no sitting on the fence for this one.  Either you're fer it or agin it.  Can I get some votes on this?

An extra comma there. By the standards of post-Soviet countries, no commas should not be, this is nonsense.

Very interesting. In the U.S., we typically use either the format of Firstname<space>Lastname or Lastname<comma><space>Firstname and capitalizes the first letter of each name. Without the comma, you wouldn't know which format was being used, so you wouldn't know which was the firstname and which was the lastname.

I know that France typically writes the lastname in ALL CAPITALS.

Nice to get a world perspective on this. Maybe you should post an idea to Internationalize the views to provide alternatives that are commonly used in other countries.

Looks more like a bug to me than an idea.

Why not both ways?
