New features (keep in mind that utils/draft.py can be run standalone
to do extraction of draft author data, too):
* The handling of author info formatted in columns causes problems
in the face of an author named for instance A. Author with the
company 'Al Author and Associates', causing breakage of email
addresses longer than 'Al Author and'. Tweaked the recognition
of column data to require multiple (not only one) space around
'and'.
* Added support for extraction of author affiliation.
* Tweaked the meaning of -t, --timestamp and added --notimestamp; and
made the default be to emit leading timestamps based ont the draft
file time.
* Added support for running author extraction on RFCs, by not bailing
out on not finding a draft name when RFC information is available.
* Added support for additional date formats and author name formats.
* Improved creation date extraction -- previously, the first supported
date format which was recognized on the first page of the draft would
be used, rather than the first date in a supported format. This could
cause errors if the Status of Memo section or Abstract contained a
date occurring at the start of a line.
* Tweaked the honorific regex to make things work better for the case
when the full name in the author's address section includes a first
name which isn't part of the first-page abbreviated name. Fixes
problems with draft-chiappa-lisp-introduction and similar.
* Added a special case for people who provide their email address as
'foo&cisco.com' instead of 'foo@cisco.com'. Bah.
* Added an alternative, more human-readable key-value-pair attribute
output mode with a '-a' switch.
* Tweaded the first-name regex to capture cases where the first name
is indicated with an alternate first letter: 'Y(J) Stein'. Fixes
problems with draft-anavi-tdmoip and similar.

recognizable author's address section, and not searching for
author names earlier in the document if found. Fixes a known
bad case where the author name occurred in the middle of a draft.
* Added handling for the case where an author name is followed by
parentheses which are not closed on the same line.
* Some refactoring.

Addresses issue #628, using reverse() and the newly created helper function
reverse_lazy() (found in ietf/utils/lazy.py) to DRY out the code a bit by
decoupling the urls from being hardcoded.
With this commit idrfc, and ipr modules have been modified to take advantage
of the reverse() and reverse_lazy() functions.

Note: SVN reference [2948] has been migrated to Git commit 9399a2e0e8bbfe5c5a16781fd784776cfa31fbac
information: draft.get_author_info(). This method returns a list of
(full_name, first_name, middle_part, surname, suffix, email), with
middle_part, suffix and email set to None if none was found.
