         Yakov is precisely correct. The addition
of (co)authors to drafts has all to do with their
(generally significant) input to the drafts (and
perhaps editing of the actual documents) regardless
of corporate affiliation. It is not about being
invited to put their names on the drafts just
for advertising purposes.
