Neat tidbit. It seems to me it would require a very large pool of
people to draw on. Sort of like the 100+ usage experts for the
American Heritage Dictionary -- not exclusive, just anyone who has
expertise, or a good editing history in that area...
It could be ugly if there were a fixed set of 3 or 4 people for each
subject who were called on each time; or if simple content disputes,
which would otherwise have been resolved elsewhere, were encouraged to
come before the AC.
