Yes, you are correct, it now has only 18 pages.  The "original"
version of it had 21 pages.  It appears that Fig. SPM-5 that
previously was on page 19 is now Fig. SPM-6 on page 15.

This "new" version is significantly re-formatted.  (I haven't
checked to see if there is any significant difference in content.)
The "original" version is a file that is ~2.2MB, but the "new"
version is only ~1.2MB.  The "original" version had some odd
comments describing changes yet to be made to the
document.

You certainly would think they would be more careful with
a document that they want most people in the world to read!
