I am not 100% sure. I know that Yatin Trivedi and Joe Daniels worked with
the IEEE on the final format. Whether or not they even showed the IEEE the
red version is an interesting question. It may be that they just followed
IEEE guidelines requiring black text. Yatin, could you comment?

This would be good. I have also copied Paul Menchini to this email message
since he is a part of DASC and he may have opinions and/or influence.
Thanks for pointing this out.
