  *> Bob -

  *> Following Jari's link to the document (ID) with 20 authors I found:
  *> 
  *> http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-pwe3-dynamic-ms-pw-00.txt
  *> 
  *> which lists 3 editors on the front page and includes a section (17)
  *> titled "Author Information" which includes 20 addresses.

Lucy,

You are suggesting that the definition of "author" is determined by some
tool that produces the pretty graph.  I don't think so.  In all
documentation related to the RFC Editor, an author is a person listed
on the first page.  I cannot explain what was in the mind of the
person writing the tool.

Bob Braden
