Sorry but I disagree. Not ALL RFCs, to exemplify why, I think the use of a humorous nom de plume or a sarcastic acknowledgement would be perfectly legitimate for RFCs published on a particular day in the spring.

Authorship, contribution, and acknowledgement are serious and important issues, but that is no reason to completely abandon or exclude humor and sarcasm in appropriate doses.
