Just to make things clear that the intention of documents acknowledging is to reflect the truth of any document process and connect information or resources. IMHO, it is not the purpose to show credit to any person including authors, it is to show how changes were developed and show true document-history. So when I read a RFC I may go through the document process and its draft versions, while going through the drafts related I see acknowledged names so I may find the input on the list for such name. In this way we have connections between inputs otherwise the IETF system has no connection between its important information. AB
