[Resending w/o opaque-signed S/MIME]

Hi Dean et. al,
  I'd like to address a formatting issue I've run into several times while 
attempting to search for something within the Baseline Requirements or 
copying+pasting from the document.
  In the Baseline Requirements PDF document, unnecessary whitespace such as a 
tab character is introduced such that a couple of problems arise:

1) Searching for certain terms within the document becomes extremely difficult 
and tedious. For example, I was searching for the exact verbiage around an 
"Internal Name" and I typed "Internal" into the search box which yielded 25 
results. Appending a space character narrowed the results down to 8, yet none 
of them were Internal Name. Appending an "N" reduced the results to zero. Only 
after manually scrolling to the definitions and hunting down the line for 
Internal Name did I copy and paste it into the search field to see what was 
happening. If one searches for "Internal Name" (there's two tab characters 
between the words there) results in only the one instance of this in the 
definitions section but it doesn't find the instance within the doc that makes 
use of the term. To find that, one has to search for "Internal Name" (only one 
tab between the words this time), which produces the results I was initially 
seeking.

2) Copying and pasting to quote verbiage becomes a formatting nightmare too. 
For example, when copying and pasting the text from section 7.1.2.3f, one gets 
this (no modification on my part): "f. extKeyUsage (required)
Either the value id‐kp‐serverAuth [RFC5280] or id‐kp‐clientAuth [RFC5280] or 
both values MUST be present.
id‐kp‐emailProtection [RFC5280] MAY be present. Other values SHOULD NOT be 
present. "
This snippet contains 25 tab characters (!) which, needless to say, makes 
beautifying this text an exercise in tedium when conveying it outside of its 
original PDF format.

Anyway, I'm not sure it needs to take up any time on the call, but it's an 
administrative item that I feel needs addressing somehow.

Thanks,
-Alex Wight
