SVJour3 document class

I have two questions about the Springer Verlag document class.

(1) If an author is going to submit to a SV journal like Erkenntnis or Phil Studies, should they use the SVJour3 document class for submission and use the [referee] option to create double spacing? Or should one just submit a simple, clean PDF made from a general style file that is double spaced, but has nothing in common with the journal style? Basically, what's the submission etiquette in these cases?

(2) Right now, I have a version of a paper in SVJour3, but if I put a % in front of author to blind out the author, it crashes and won't make the pdf. If I leave the author argument empty, it makes the PDF, but there is a lot of white space at the top of the first page. My question: Leave it along or try to tinker and get rid of the white space? Or something else?

I don't know the class, but what happens if you put some negative vertical space in the author field? Hacky, sure, but it might work at a pinch... i.e. put \author{\vspace{-1cm}} or something... I don't know if this will actually work...

I'd probably do something like \author{Submitted for Anonymous Review} so it printed something there to take up the whitespace, but not with your actual name.

Yeah. Or put RESTRICTED in allcaps tt in the author field. Or replace your name with \rule{15em}{12pt} instead, so it looks like someone's been censoring your name out of stuff!

If you're being really thorough, I suppose what you should really do is the following:
```
\newlength\namelength
\settowidth\namelength{Your name here}
\author{\rule{\namelength}{12pt}}
```
