I haven't been tracking the byline discussion in detail because I'm
still working on triage; I'll be starting on the byline work when triage
is done and the byline spec stops changing.... but as I understand it
currently, one of these things is supposed to be shown:
- One of several static text labels, followed by an email address picker
- Static text containing one of several constructed messages, for
example "Created by %(author)s on %(date)s".
If you want some set of conditions to lead to a message with just a date
("Created on %(date)s"), that's no problem.
We don't have any concept of user name, and won't until we have a
contacts architecture. For preview, all we have is email address, but of
course, we won't have an email address (other than "me") unless the user
has configured one, which, as I understand it, isn't required for sharing.

P.S. Please don't put spec details in bugs while the spec is still changing.

Oh a question for Bryan:
If we don't have any kind of account info, we could just display date
information: Created on, Last modified on. Would that complicate
things? Or would it be easier to just not have a byline in these cases?
