Hi Roman,

Yeah, so my view is that this might be worth a rethink, but it doesn't really need to be tied to authorship issues.

The only way authorship is related is that it would not be produtive to create a draft that violates the RFC authorship policies knowing that it wouldn't get through the process.  But that actually happens early and often even today, when the number of authors on a draft initially exceeds the 5 person limit.

[Roman] To add a few other document references the above conclusion:

* RFC3710 (Feb-2004) says "It [The IESG] also administers IETF logistics, including 
operation of the Internet-Draft document series and the IETF meeting event."

* Both RFC2026 and RFC3710 pre-date the definition of streams which we didn't 
get until RFC4844 in 2007.
