Folks,
There have been more than 25 postings on this sub-thread, and I don't
see any indication that it covers a 'problem' in the IETF, or at least

Just to make things clear that the intention of documents
acknowledging is to reflect the truth of any document process and
connect information or resources. IMHO, it is not the purpose to show
credit to any person including authors, it is to show how changes were
developed and show true document-

their individual-draft or WG draft. I think it is a shame that editors
