Occasionally, when we hit https://preview.addons.mozilla.org/z/en-US/firefox/api/1.5/addon/3456 directly, we're missing the new 1.5 API fields found in bug 543559.  Here's some curl output:

Here's what we're looking for (among other fields):

  <authors>
    <author>WOT Services</author>  </authors>

That should have both id="xxx" and name="xxx".

I've hit this 250 time and see an id= on each. When was this feature added? There are 5 zeuses and each has its own cache, so maybe one of them was caching old data?

Verified WFM; I can't reproduce this any longer either.  We'll reopen if we see it again.
