Well, it gets easier when the input is an xml source, but for classic 
ascii source, other than obvious header-searching algorithms, no I 
haven't a clue.

A simple algorithm would likely be acceptable at finding the right 
document sections, but would probably parse the contents into many 
possible names that aren't really names,  I suspect that correlating 
these candidate with various signup lists (ietf mailing lists, ietf 
registrations, whatever) could get pretty close.  mumble.
