   I compared view-source of

http://datatracker.ietf.org/iesg/agenda/scribe_template.html

and

http://trackerbeta.ietf.org/iesg/agenda/scribe_template.html

finding 234 lines of diff, most of it inconsequential.

   The change from "ballot NNNN" to "ballot draft..." seems a good idea.
That's about 52 lines.

   There are 8 lines of differing spelling of IESG members -- not an
issue.

   There are 20 lines of differing indentation of "</ol>" in the Appendix
-- not a significant issue.

   The rest of the lines seem to come from differing _order_ of numbering
the AD comments on agenda items. I'm not sure whether that's an issue...

   It would approach a show-stopper were it differing order of the
agenda items themselves (between the agenda as published and the
scribe template), but if any such problem exists I didn't see it.

   If the issue is limited to the numbering of AD comments it's certainly
not a show-stopper; but it would constitute a nuisance as I prepare the
actual template for Narrative Minutes.

   The nuisance would be fairly significant if the ordering is not
predictable, so I guess I'm asking if there's a way to predict it. (It
used to be alphabetical by surname.)
