for strings like
editor = {María J. Arche, Antonio Fábregas and Rafael Marín},
it is difficult to know what the first names and the last names are. It could be that there is someone called "{Antonio Fábregas} {María J. Arche}" and that this work would be a two-author work. Compare "{Sabine Maria} {Schulte im Walde}" from "Schulte im Walde, Sabine Maria". The converter could try some heuristics, but it will be subtly wrong in an non-neglectable number of cases, so it is better to leave this error as it is, which will mean that a human will eventually have a look to fix it.
Only the "&" symbol is converted into "and" in the entry "author" or "editor", but not the commas between the names. As a result, the citation key is generated as a combination of the surnames of the first and last authors instead of "EtAl".
