When I use a reference without an author, it is now preceded with a spurious comma:

[IEEE.802.11]
, "Information technology - Telecommunications and
information exchange between systems - Local and
metropolitan area networks - Specific requirements - Part
11: Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical
Layer (PHY) Specifications ", IEEE Std 802.11-2012, 2012,
http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/download/802.11-2012.pdf.

I am using the same source format as http://xml.resource.org/public/rfc/bibxml2/ does:

<title> Information technology - Telecommunications and information exchange between systems - Local and metropolitan area networks - Specific requirements - Part 11: Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications </title>

The author tag is apparently non-optional in the DTD; I have tried as well as the format above.

The old tool does not exhibit this behavior. Please do not suggest
using "IEEE" as author; some references (e.g. websites) simply don't
have authors. I also don't think we want to go back and edit all
the records at http://xml.resource.org/public/rfc/bibxml2/ to fix
this.

Fixed in 1063

If the authors string is zero length, then we do not emit the comma that seperates the authors and the title.
