Hmmm, I just re-read your original message to ietf@xxxxxxxx. What I had
originally taken as a complaint about getting a way to have a unique id
(in this case, an ORCID) for the authors was instead a complaint about
getting a unique id for the people listed in the acknowledgements.
I can't say I have a solution for that one.
