In the first line of your abstract. The line was quoted for context. A
'smart' Apostrophe, very appropriately used. (If it was "IETF's", I'd
wince.)

The circumflex is repeated in the header lines; you probably see an
em-dash.


I try to catch these, but sometimes they slip through. A little 
context from the document will help me find them and correct them for 
a subsequent submission to correct typos.

I think it's reasonable to presume that you are familiar with your own
document. I mean, it's only six pages, and there's almost no original

This announcement continues a disturbing trend of MicrosoftSCII 
appearing in what are supposed to be ASCII text documents.  It's 
particularly egregious in this announcement, since there is no 
Content-Type header indicating in what character set the \306 should 
be rendered.  (In my system's default encoding, it's a capital
ae-ligature.)  The document itself also contains \373 characters as 
well (seen as u-circumflex).
