Apologies for yet another Name poll, but they all help towards the goal of 1 name per person.

If a married name is used as the "Name" and it includes the maiden & married last name, should we have a default parsing rule which could be overidden if documentation demonstrates otherwise.

Example:
Before marriage: Jane Smith
Married: Jane Smith Jones

It may be better to check what is actually being used. In some countries this might actually be (in the example given) Jane//Jones-Smith.

I voted for no default as different women/cultures treat them different ways.

Either Jane//Smith Jones or Jane//Smith-Jones depending on whether or not the hyphen appears in the credits more commonly.

Build a man a fire and you keep him warm for a day. Set a man on fire and you keep him warm the rest of his life.
