These rules are perfectly reasonable (even if they would cost me my
acknowledgment in draft-ietf-ltru-matching) but:
1) They do not seem to be written somewhere. I cannot find them in the
RFCs talking about RFCs (meta-RFCs? IPODs?).
2) They are not currently applied or enforced, as anyone can see when
comparing a RFC with the work in the WG which created it. (Not a big
deal but good to keep in mind when you read an Ack section.)
They should not be *rules*. If you try to formalize the definition of
a "contribution", then we get into eternal niggling. If you feel like
you have been unjustly left out of an acknowledgments section in a
specific draft or RFC, argue your case. Let's not have yet more
process and procedure and administration for issues that don't affect
running code.
