I added the language of Ballot SC68, fixed some numbering issues and 
reformatted the tables. Everything seems to be all set. Martijn and 
Corey have kindly offered to review the PR and hopefully they will also 
be able to endorse the ballot. You can also download the artifacts 
(.docx, .pdf, redline pdf) 
<https://github.com/cabforum/code-signing/actions/runs/8771988767/artifacts/1433108820> 
produced based on the latest commit.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.


Best regards,
Dimitris.
