I think for editorial works and guides (like this) that author tags should
remain.
I would like to remove the author tags from the rest of the code but I think
it makes it harder to aquire a community. Many people get a buzz out of it
and I have seen people keep contributing because of it. It also helps in the
situation that code gets abandondend because you can always go back to
original author regardless of whether it gets moved around in CVS.
