Background

I recently learned that one should omit the hyphen from first-name initials when using the American Medical Association style:

(Taken from the style guide.)

However, I noticed that the default output of AMA retains the hyphen:

(Example taken from Zotero using the AMA 11 csl file.)

Both the 10th and 11th versions of AMA exhibit this behavior:

Question

Should initialize-with-hyphen be added, set to "false," in order to meet AMA's stipulation that the hyphen be omitted? Adding this setting appears to do the trick.

Remaining to do: Change in Vancouver/NLM styles after double-checking
