I don't know. It seems useful to know who is responsible for a given  
document though. The reason for making the distinction was mainly that  
"Editor" does not really describe the relation that person has to the  
document well. I don't really care that much either, just curious what  
other people thought.

Interesting. W3C/IETF/WHATWG all do. But I guess they've all been inspired  
by each other.
