  AACR2 never really defined "fuller form". except by example, after 
declaring that examples should be considered "illustrative and not 
prescriptive."

  Half of the examples under 22.18A represent the addition of true "fuller 
forms."

  I got incredibly used to LC's precise definition in their LCRI for 
22.3A before they canceled the LCRI for other reasons. It was simply 
clear:

  "When determining the fullest form for a person who uses both forename 
initials and forenames, make no distinction between initials and 
forenames, e.g., 'B.E.F. Pagen' is fuller than 'Bernard Edward Pagen.'"
