Ooops.  I forgot about this comment in my inbox when I merged the
patchset; although I guess even if we go with the bulleted list having
the table in markdown first should make this easier.

I guess we could give it a try and see how it looks?  My only concern
is that sometimes a list with only one item can look a bit "off".  Or
an I misunderstanding what you are proposing?

I've posted the SE Android section as an RFC patch that converts HTML
tables to lists. See what you think.

I sent the Reference Policy updates yesterday but it never made it to
the list as I didn't realise it was over 100K, still I guess you had
your copy.

Okay, I'll take a look.  I'm inclined to merge it regardless just
because it does the HTML->MD conversion.  Once we get it fully into
markdown, especially the tables, it should be easier to edit for
consistency, style, etc.

Yes, I just ran out of energy last night when I was working my way
through the other patches.  Hopefully I'll get through the rest
today/tomorrow.
