Some suggestions about author-kit

[taiya]

1. this is already controllable from the user via \Cref vs. \cref, no?
2. problem is microtype adds a fair bit of overhead to compile. I have used it consistently, but usually enable it at the very very end, as it allows you to squeeze a bit of extra space. We could add a commented-out line, or to the camera ready version, but I am hesitant setting it to default is a good idea; @cr333 ?
3. seems like a good idea; send a pull request?
4. as far as I remember, sections vs. citations always used a different color. Do I remember incorrectly? This was from a CVPR 2020 paper, for example: https://capture.dropbox.com/0DmIXJ4picOjDTOz
5. if the metadata is wrong, this seems like a great suggestion. Do you want to create a separate issue, and perhaps a PR with a proposed fix? Seems you know about this more than we do.

p.s. this entire post seemed a better fit for the discussion tab :)
