What Bob said. -Tim
I am saying that the current spec language is the equivalent of
"The author of the book may be considered the author of all the chapters in the book unless someone else is listed as the author of a particular chapter."
Yes, intuitively obvious. The spec doesn't need to say this, the language just gets us into trouble, and it has absolutely nothing to do with interoperation in syndication technology. Out it should go.
And copyright is even worse.
