   O.K., but
1) drop

+.BR "ISO 8859-1:1987" ,
+paragraph 6.3.3.

  The year (1987) is for an older version; paragraph is repeated
from a previous line.  If you want the name of the standard
boldfaced, do it with the first mention of it in the change.

2) The column for "Char" should show the graphic character (glyph)
for the code, and not repeap column 3 (with extra < >)

3) There are no tabs in the table!  Have been changed to spaces!
