This is the same problem as with domain names:
When you want to highlight through a fake list of authors on a
draft widespread support for it, its really hard to come up
with an expert sounding randomn name that has not already been
taken up by some physically existing person that also happens
to work in the IETF. So you get unintended collisions and concerns.
This problem really needs to be solved through extensions of RFC6761.
Eg: "Strong the 3rd Supporter @ example.com" or the like.
"Rocky Balboa@local.local.local", etc. pp/.
