I have  to disagree. In  Europe, it is very  common to give  your surname
first, as  in 'Thomas  Eric'. This is  the "official" way,  ie the  way a
student would  register in a university.  This is one of  the reasons why
the NETSERV UDS stuff was not successful  - nobody knew which form to use
for their name, and if you  searched for 'Eric Thomas', you wouldn't find
'Thomas Eric'. Well  you could search for 'Thomas' alone,  but then you'd
find 'Thomas  Habernoll' and all the  other 'Thomas' in the  (UDS) world,
which is not  precisely what you wanted. I definitely  think that '/WHOIS
John Doe' should find 'Doe John'.
