3 line diff creates 700 line whitespace diff problem

[Ceri Davies]

jon at witchspace.com pointed out to me that the section numbers in the
IPsec section of the handbook are slightly off: 10.9.4 and 10.9.5
should really be 10.9.3.1 and 10.9.3.2.

My dilemma is that committing the attached patch to correct this will
also require that all the intervening lines (~700 of them) will need
to be indented to keep the whitespace consistent.  Would a whitespace
commit of that proportion be excessive, or a necessary evil?
