Come to think of it, this should be fixed by using CSS
with a

table.simplelist

selector. Or something along those lines. But I don't
have a serious interest in proceeding further. A inline
list seems good enough, even if it does not stand out
in a visual scan of the page. There is a certain amount
of visual-standout due to all the hyperlinks next to each
other in the inline presentation.
