[Servercert-wg] Ballot SC31: Browser Alignment

[Ryan Sleevi]

Thanks, I've put together
https://github.com/sleevi/cabforum-docs/pull/27/files based on the feedback
so far, and if Clint and Mike are good with the edits, I can merge. This
also corrected the effective dates (although the chair would have been able
to modify that table at will) and fixes up for the Pandoc markdown to make
sure it generates ok :)

I can also wait for more discussion/feedback to come in today, to avoid
having to create multiple versions, and I can see about restarting
discussion tomorrow with a v2.

If it seems like I'm keen to get to the voting phase, it's because I want
to make sure CAs have as much leadtime as possible before 2020-09-30,
considering this has been bouncing around for several months now :)
