Maybe BibTeX-like syntax will work, i.e. something like \author{Albert
Einstein} and \author{Einstein, Albert} would produce same output
determined *only* by house class?  Then house classes could process
\author declarations and extract, if required, both Albert Einstein in
title page and A.~Einstein in the running head?

Actually BibTeX has a very subtle algorithm of dealing with author names;
I think it is possible to reimplement it in TeX for journal styles.


Good luck
