Re: [xmca] protocol on spelling: Leontiev, Leontyev, Leont'ev

I am under the impression that "Leontiev" is increasingly getting
perceived as a standard spelling of the name in the recent publications,
whereas the other two occur in the older, mostly Soviet publications.
Perhaps, another reason for choosing "Leontiev" is that his (i.e. A.N.
Leontiev's) descendants prefer it, too...
