Suppress Author and titles
It looks like "Suppress Author" only suppresses actual cs:names elements, not other variables, even if they appear as substitutes for a cs:names element.
To wits, in Elsevier Harvard, the author-short macro is
Suppress author leaves out both authors and editors in in text citations--so that's good--but if neither are present, it _does_ print the title (which is bad).
Is this on purpose (if so why?) or is this a bug? From an old thread it seems like this behavior has changed.
