Unified Style Sheet for Linguistics period problem [solved]
I was recently made aware of the fact that the Unified Style Sheet for Linguistics Journals CSL style has an error which causes a double period to show up sometimes.
Example bibliography:
I was indirectly involved in the creation of this style but I don't remember seeing this problem before.
Could a CSL wizard help me out? I'm pretty sure it should be an easy fix; probably something like the period being specified in two not always mutually exclusive macros.

in the CSL reference test pane for that item. Zotero 3.0.11.1 for Firefox.
It seems, then, that (1) Mendeley may not have been working with the latest version (the colleague that pointed out the error is using Mendeley) and (2) my own copy of the style wasn't auto-updating.
I probly shouldn't be surprised as a longtime Z user, but I do find it counterintuitive that styles don't auto-update especially given that there also is no easy "update styles" option in Preferences/Styles tab. Do I understand it correctly that I might be stuck with styles from the early years, or does every Z update upgrade at least the default set of styles?
