Thanks.

The summary table will need some styling.
At the moment I only see the short and and long name columns.
*If* I scroll down to the bottom, then I get a horizontal scroll bar
and can scroll to see that there are more columns.

I get this with Firefox and Opera on Linux and Firefox and IE11 on Win7
(yes I need to get a newer windows virtual machine).
