If we can come up with a way of providing attribution in a way that Tenure
Committees understand, then I don't care what goes on page 1.

(And if Tenure Committees understand, then I think that will likely solve
the problems of other communities.)

insofar as I am aware tenure committies have never looked at
standardization activities with much favor and I don't think anything
here will change that.
