Thanks Renato, that's interesting. Apparently this quite complex 
document already applies to contributors and contributions.

But I'd like to clarify who is a contributor or what documents it 
already applies to.

Does anyone know if the above CLA already applies (or doesn't) to:

a) documents like the one we have been discussing, which is not hosted 
at W3C but nominally carries work of people who are members of a W3C 
Community group:
http://payswarm.com/specs/ED/use-cases/2011-10-25/

b) postings on the W3C public lists by people who have not formally 
joined a Community group (e.g., this post you're reading by me).
