I found this in my outbox from nearly a year ago while looking for something
else.

There was some strong support that if we were going to Acknowledge reviews
and other activities, that we should do it in a semantically meaningful XML
way.

There was a mix of views about criteria for who should be acknowledged.
At this point, I'd like to leave it to authors to decide, and perhaps some
WGs might decide to experiment with guidelines.

In order to get there, it seems that we need to add semantic XML, and I don't
know what the process would be do that.

I understand that we have outstanding mismatches between our specifications
and our tools already.
Is there an issue tracker that I should use to lodge this "feature request"?
Should I just send a patch?
