I'd still prefer a single list of acknowledgements in alphabetical
order, without any of the authors included. (But I don't have a strong
opinion, so if you absolutely want to have a separate paragraph for 1.2,
then go ahead.)

However, can we please keep the authors list (in the header) as-is?
If we're now going to include people for adding a single sentence or
suggestion, then we'd also have to list several (all?) of the persons
who are listed in the original acknowledgements.

There shouldn't be double blank lines _after_ section headings (i.e.
only a single blank line after "Specification" and "Rationale") [1].
