Should E.T. Smith read given 'E.', middle 'T.'? #1296

parse("E.T. Smith") gives given 'E.T.', family 'Smith'. A run of single letters joined by full stops stays one word (decisions/period-joined-words). The xfail tests/test_conjunctions.py::test_two_initials_conflict_with_conjunction expects given 'E.', middle 'T.'.

#490 recorded that any split must happen after roles are assigned, so that rules/S3 still sees one dotted word in John Smith E.T.. PR #1295 settled #490's title half: a run is a title only when another title follows it, which E.T. Smith never has.

This issue takes over the xfail's citation from #490.
