Original Summary: Wrong Author information for this expired document

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-avt-rtp-no-op/

The page lists only Flemming Andreasen as author, however there are two more authors of this document. This error also appears to be propagated into the xml2rfc reference files.

I think that what really happened is that the author extraction code at the time created things that were propagated both to here and to the reference files you point to.

This could be improved by running the modern extraction code over the draft (or over all draft documents older than some date X), but I don't think that will automatically update the reference files.

Maybe we could do this with random samples drive by cron, sending email to a human to check things if the new parse produces different results from the old parse.

This will be replaced with work to allow author information to be recalculated on demand by the appropriate parties.
