Elided below is the actual draft, "Repudiating Mail From".  The citation
is to the earliest known work (in other words, the earliest place someone
wrote down a solution based on this idea).  If you would like to suggest
to the authors of marid-core that Jim Miller ought to be cited as the source
of the idea from which Vixie's work was derived, I'm sure they will 
consider it.
Paul Vixie should still be cited, of course, as many people worked off of
his formulation of the idea; so should Hadmut Danisch, for the same reason.

The main point to be made, though, is that these are all contributions to
the IETF's collective work on the problem, and should be seen as such.
