Key AP style change

The Associated Press reports it is "adopting a universal style for referring to all heads of state." 

From the AP advisory:

Effective Thursday at 3 a.m. EST, the AP will use the title and first and family names on first reference: President George W. Bush, not just President Bush; President-elect Barack Obama, not just President-elect Obama; President Nicolas Sarkozy, not just President Sarkozy.
