In the spec it states: "Individual contributors are responsible for
adding themselves to this list. This allows for "trivial" contributors
such as annotators to voluntarily omit themselves. Absolute
contributor information may be recovered from the operation history if
required."

Despite the extra processing required, I still think a secure client
should present history validated contributor information. An annotator
should not be able to hide from a user who wishes to know about ALL
contributors. Especially in a case where an annotation alters the
meaning of a blip through style changes (e.g. changing the font size
and color of text to cause content to not be user visible).
