Hi Alex,

since Ryuji already replied to your email, just a little technical
comment: xml2rfc (nor the DTD) does not limit the number of authors.
(just verified with the newest version).

As Ryuji said, the documents that circulate have never been officially
posted, they are just working material. So the number of authors, the
title and even the whole content may still change until a document
from the DT is released.
