I actually contacted all but one of the authors of RFC 2560.  The ones I 
did get in contact with indicated it was fine to publishing under the 
new rules.  The one I did not contact is deceased.   I decided it would 
be in poor taste to contact the widower on this issue.  Based on 
discussions with people who knew the author very well and the minimal 
changes in the draft, I'm comfortable progressing the document with the 
deceased authors name on it and without the disclaimer.
