[Tools-discuss] Re: Finding authors [was: [e-mail] is not long for the world]

Thank you for the cluestick. It helped me understand your point.

I'd be content with a process in metadata for old RFCs and bound in
values exposed in the visible text for future RFCs.

I find the immutability thing vastly over-stated. The normative,
semantic words it has high value to me. the rest? Meh. We're well past
the stage where if you needed to see the literal as-it-was for format
you could find it for everything, some stuff has been motherhooded,
the modern production languages go a long way to say presentation
format is not the same as RFC intent (my words) and dial down the
immutability quite a lot. Anyway thats a bar conversation.

I agree its for RFC Ed. I think it has higher value than you I
suspect, it's convincing anyone else which is moot.
