I've not discussed with Steve, but I'd go for option 2 - write a new header but
credit the previous author in a subsidiary comment. If the existing author is
still active, it would be polite to let them know what you're doing.
Please re-use the existing pattern (Pxx) codes.
Not sure which parts you're working on, but please consider the potential
benefits of subparting the non-decorated structure of the part, if its not been
done already and there are sufficient decorated versions to justify it.
