Please be careful when typing submitted names or other information
about what submitters want.  It's easy to compensate for simple typos
in the running text, but some people get oddly attached to there exact
spelling, and a slight typo might be an entirely different name (e.g.,
John versus Jon: different names, different derivations).

He wants "mac Innes" with one space?

First, the formatting stuff.  If you want an accented form, it's
    Ó Corrain and Maguire
If you want it Da'uded instead,
    {O'} Corrain and Maguire
Accentless,
    O Corrain and Maguire
Among name experts,
    OCM
Book titles are italicized or underscored, neither of which can be
done in this medium (unless you do *...* or _..._).  Names of articles
or other short works go in quotation marks.  The standard abbrev. for
"page" is "p.".  A named time period is capitalized: "Middle Ages".

The substantive comment: lists exactly what (that is, the precise
spelling), seen as what?  I wish I had OCM's _Irish Names_ so I could
fill that in.
