:-)
I wanted to keep the acknowledgment blocks/paragraphs in more or less
chronological order. That analysis arrived before the WG got started
and hence was not a contribution to the WG that would have been
covered in the subsequent paragraph. However, the only information
I had (or have) about the contributor is that name, spelled that way
(I have vague memories of even asking but that was 4 1/2 years ago).
I didn't want to guess about, or override, a preferred name or
preferred case any more than I would want to do either with a
preferred gender. So I tentatively wrote the paragraph and then
consulted the RFC Editor, getting a reply in early May 2020 (again,
before the WG was chartered). I was told their preference matched my
guess and to write it that way.
Does that constitute nit-picking a Nit?
So thanks for the obviously very careful reading and for noticing
because it, indeed, looks odd but it is actually as intended.
I went back down the rabbit hole and I now remember you and Rob Sayre discussing this for -24.
I think it jumps out as starting with a lowercase character and looking like a fragment.
Leave it for the RFC editor also works for me
thanks
tim
thanks again,
john
