That's a good idea.  This can be v.1.3.

Ben,

This ballot was scaled back to only include reformatting and not
incorporate the Network and Certificate System Security Requirements.
 I think it might make sense to target BR 2.0 to be be a RFC3647
formatted Certificate Policy that includes all BR 1.2 and security
requirements. Maybe the reformatted version is 1.3 or 1.8 (with 1.9
merging in the security reqs and 2.0 including corrections resulting
from the merge)?

Thanks,
Peter
