If you go back to my original message on this topic, the issue was
that in many organizations, for better or worse, they measure your
productivity by the amount of author credit you get, which is why we
see scientific papers with 50 or more co-authors.
We're not publishing academic papers here, we're creating Internet Standards.
If a spec doesn't have enough market demand to have someone pony up WG chair
resources to help it through the process, maybe that should tell us something.
Playing devil's advocate, you understand.
