Not that I'm proposing such change, but, as a reference, I just discovered 
today that there's a way to make it even lighter than it is while still
showing it as a table:

If one wants the table headers as such, an extra line is required:

The output using this approach and a markup to use mono-spaced cells
e. g. either using ..raw or using .. cssclass as commented before in
this thread is at:

	https://www.infradead.org/~mchehab/rst_conversion/x86/x86_64/mm_alternative.html

Just converted the first table, keeping the other as a literal block.

Thanks,
