"author" != "editor". Ah yes. The next paragraph in Manu's e-mail was the relevant one > You are an author of the document if you've contributed foundational > ideas, arguments, or spec text to the body of the document. And I don't believe Manu satisfies those criteria. The ideas and arguments had been published in academic journals and on the W3c site before. And as Manu wrote: > I decided to gather much of the writing across the Web and put it into a > coherent specification that would then be used to pitch a WebID Working > Group at W3C. so the spec text is probably a lot of text I wrote out there on the subject in wikis and blog posts. Now a lot of Manu's company's work was on an implementation of TLS in JavaScript, and that is an impressive amount of work, but it's not spec work. Thanks for helping me to clarify this Andreas.
