ZedAI Proper Name Proposal
From zedwiki
In (Swiss) German Braille Proper names are not contracted according to the standard contraction rules.

Use Cases
Personal Names
Personal names are not to be fully contracted, i.e. you're only allowed to use a subset of the contraction rules: The problem is that German has many compound words also in Personal Names. Many contractions would decrease the legibility of names.
- Example input: "Herr Wegmann" (Mr Hoffmann)
- Desired output: "RR WEGM+N" (fully contract neither "Hoff" nor "Mann", just use the contraction for "AN")
Other names
Such as names of restaurants, animals, etc are not treated in a special way.
Place Names
Again Place names are not to be fully contracted, i.e. you're only allowed to use a subset of the contraction rules: The problem is again that German has many compound words also in Place Names. Many contractions would decrease the legibility of names. The subset is a bit larger than the subset of contraction used for #Personal Names
- Example input: "Badenerweg" ("Baden street")
- Desired output: "BADC7WG" (note that "WEG" was contracted here as opposed to the example for #Personal Names)
Markup
Personal Names
Could be handled using the name element with a special role named "personal-name".
Place Names
Can be handled with the place element.
