that's nominally fine by me, tho...

* the masthead sections should be alphabetized.


* what's the delineation between "editor" and "contributor"?

In (many) specs I've worked on in the past, "editor" denotes who is 
actually actively contributing substantially to the spec at the time of 
spec's timestamp, and those are the folks on the hook to help jump the 
spec thru process hoops.

E.g., I talked with Hubert and he's totally fine with being listed as a 
"contributor" at this time.

Perhaps we should ask each of the folks in the current "editors" list 
how they wish to be denoted on the W3C webauthn spec when it goes to CR. 
Also, we should ask those listed below as "contributors to consider 
adding" how they wish to be ack'd -- as "contributor" or in 
"acknowledgements", and we are adding Angelo as an editor, and need to 
talk with Jeffrey Y. about that.


* We already have an acknowledgements section [1] towards the end of the 
spec. It needs to be updated and I'm willing to write more detailed acks 
for those who've made key contributions, as noted below. additions to 
that list welcome.

here's some musings on spec attribution in the masthead and the acks
