Incorrect import/export of initials from Google Scholar
Consider this article:
http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&lr=&cluster=12658422783662909522
The authors are scraped as "Bendat, JS" and "Piersol, AG". On BibTeX export from Zotero, their names are generated as "author = {JS Bendat and AG Piersol}". This is incorrect, because BibTeX styles will generally interpret JS as the author's first name, and abbreviate it to "J." (if the style includes only initials and surname, as many do).
The export needs a space: "J S Bendat". I believe this should be accomplished by inserting a space upon scraping from Google Scholar: "JS Bendat" -> "Bendat, J S".

(Is it safe to assume that all "Troubleshooting" reports have been read and appropriately actioned by developers, or is that only the case when someone (usually Dan Stillman) replies in the thread? Is the "Troubleshooting" section of this forum the best place to report issues like this one, or is there a bug/issue tracking system that it would be better to directly access?)
