OK, I've made a quick pass through these.  They are mostly OK, with a
couple of exceptions.  One is that it has the "#." problem in enumerated
lists, which needs to be fixed as was done with the previous set.

And then there is:

That leads to results that look like this:

...and that is essentially unreadable.  Remember that the plain-text
format matters too, so we can't do it this way.

The original is in something fairly close to the RST multicell table
format already; it shouldn't be too hard to add the tweaks needed to make
sphinx happy...?

Thanks,
