Certain details on name parsing absent from the new docs? #10

Some details on name parsing that used to be described in http://gsl-nagoya-u.net/http/pub/citeproc-doc.html no longer appear in https://citeproc-js.readthedocs.io/en/latest/csl-json/markup.html – in particular the comma-suffix tag and the ,! shorthand.

In addition, the following, also from here, does not seem to be correct: Tests show that Zotero/citeproc-js formats the "Jr." in [Smith][John Jr.] just like a (second) given name, whereas [Smith][John, Jr.] formats it as expected for a suffix. So should this read "with a comma"?

Generational designations (like “Jr” or “IV”) immediately follow the given name without a comma. All other suffixes should follow next, with each suffix preceeded by a comma.

Finally, "Particles as part of the last name", with the example "family" : "\"van der Vlist\"" is no longer contained in the new docs either.

Has any of these features been removed, or are they just absent from the new docs?
