Description
The function theme_biblio_format_authors in biblio_theme.inc does not respect the option betweenInitialsDelim when shortening author's forenames (can be more than one).
My attached patch fixes this and also replaces dashes by the delimiter character. I am using Vancouver style i.e. initials are concatenated without a delimiter. I am not sure if it makes sense to replace the dashes in other cases.

#1
Could you give me an example of an forename you where having trouble with?
#2
All persons with more than one forename produce the problem like "Ko, Han Seok". It was displayed as Ko H S instead of Ko HS using Vancouver style. As for the dashes: Lu, Xiao-Hong is displayed as Lu XH in PubMed citations but Lu X-H with Biblio, Vancouver style.
#3
Ok, I've committed it.
