Yeah, agreed.  We can adjust the space in the header independently of
what's in the table entries, so it'd be possible to put more space
between "Column" and "Type" ... but I'm not sure if that would fix it.

This is more Jonathan's department than mine, but I personally prefer more
indentation to less --- you want the column names to stick out so you can
find them.  Anyway, the present indentation is (it looks like) the same
as we are using in <variablelist>s, which this layout is based on.
