Do not warn when author names include protected terms containing space #15157

Description

@ryan-carpenter

Is your suggestion for improvement related to a problem? Please describe.

Protected term containing a space, such as {Institutional Author} trigger the warning "Names are not in the standard biblatex format". Running "Normalize to BibTeX format" does not remove the warning or change the format.

Describe the solution you'd like

Best: Do not warn. This solution applies to LaTeX and Unicode, and the protected term already displays correctly.

Alternative: Format to {Institutional\<space>Author} and remove the warning. This solution applies to LaTeX only.

Additional context

Example

@Article{Last2026-api,
  author       = {Last, F. I. and {Institutional Author}},
  date         = {2026-02-18},
  journaltitle = {Journal of JabRef},
  title        = {Article with a protected institutional author},
}
