Modified Chicago Citation Style

(the empty et-al term is on purpose -- see first post above -- we'll use your first immediate solution)

Oh. Oops.

Meanwhile, the revised processor (which will handle the singleton correctly) is also up in Propachi.

Meanwhile, the revised processor (which will handle the singleton correctly)

@fbennett, I just came across this case the other day: https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/e88beb8b8e106ea7a14a464cd1c0e5de88425506/colorado-state-university-school-of-biomedical-engineering.csl#L30. In fixing up the style, I found that http://formatter.citationstyles.org/ currently converts <term name="et-al"></term> to <term name="et-al"/>.

Maybe we should add a note to the spec that explicitly discusses how non-defined (like <term name="author">...</term> which is absent from CSL locale files), empty (<term name="et-al"></term>), and singleton (<term name="et-al"/>) terms all should behave.
