Having a table is nice, but I think it means a lot more work to update
if we add a name in the middle of the list unless we have some tool to
do this for us.  Maybe someone could write an Emacs function to format
the list?  Also, if we have a function like that, then it might be
nice to arrange the items so they are sorted down the columns instead
of across the rows.

OK.

That was my doing, because I don't think the ø does the right thing
when the Texinfo sources are converted to HTML.  Can you make sure
that it is correctly rendered in all the output formats and add
special cases if it is not?  I know that there are also other names
that I removed accents from becuase I wasn't sure how to deal with
them in all the output formats.

OK, I guess, but he may also object to the way you've modified the
spelling of his name.  :-)
