cool or not cool, if your name is not on it thats a factual error,
I suppose when you move toward the end of your career, your
prioritities are different from when you are establishing one (03)

yes, and in some cases it is virtually possible to do so, depending on how well
the process has been documented, and how well the web based communication system
is supporting such documenation, in terms of timestamp, versioning and
durability of 'provenance' of knowledge (05)
nobody could ever deny that you had an input on cl standard,
just because your name is not on it, does not mean you did not contribute to it
and you can prove it thanks to the existance of online and offline archives (06)
