Interesting.
I note that two of the examples for French are wrong, at least according to what I was taught. For example 'Jean de la Fontaine' should be 'Fontaine, Jean de la', because 'la' is not capitalized. 'Jean de La Fontaine' would be 'La Fontaine, Jean de'. In addition, a Palestinian friend says that 'Muhammad bin Zahra' should be 'Muhammad bin Zahra' (no commas or inversion), because 'bin Zahra' means 'son of', and isn't a last name at all.
They don't mention Asian names, which bring yet another level of complexity.
