Minor nit about the $subject - but this is the docs, so I guess there's
nowhere better to mention grammar: "tableize" is not a word. I think
what you want here is "tabulate".

> The memory layout is written as table but it is inside literal code
                                 ^ as a table           ^ inside a

Anyway, those are minor nits I saw in passing, one actual comment and a
simple question below.
Thanks,
Conor.

Will these numbers remain right-aligned in the formatted doc? They were
aligned before in the text form & no longer appear to be.

This one /is/ sv39. I'd leave this as a blank to match the styling in
the original document.
