Personally, my standard is to use A. B. Lastname. You find almost any combination of how to format initials. I've seen AB, A.B., AB., A B and A. B. in the last few months. I admit that only one author uses AB. for their initials. Then we have the authors whose initials are now you see me, now you don't (as in your Jim Hines/Jim C. Hines example).
