About your second option, I would say this might make problem. I give my case as an example. It happened to me several times that I needed to upload a draft in 90 minute of cutting date and my co-authors already did his/her contribution on a system we used to share information and this person is no longer available. Then I can no longer reach him. In your suggestion, I can no longer upload a draft when my co-author is asleep or no longer reachable. I think the one who used your name or someone else's name in his/her draft without previous discussion, might use different email address of himself/herself too to authorized its sending. So I suggest to use other approach... > This would also clear out people whose addresses change; I understand > an address changing in a later version of a draft (someone@xxxxxxxxxxxx > becomes someone+else@xxxxxxxxxxxx) and being missed in a draft update, > but I don’t understand an incorrect address on the -00 version.
