I'm finding it a little hard to read some of these discussions because text is in adjacent cells but the vertical alignment of the cells is not set, so in this browser at least it's defaulting to "middle" so I'm getting:

 foo foo foo foo 
 foo foo foo foo 
 foo foo foo foo     some foo-related thing
 foo foo foo foo 
 foo foo foo foo


 bar bar bar bar 
 bar bar bar bar 
 bar bar bar bar     some bar-related thing
 bar bar bar bar 
 bar bar bar bar

[download]

rather than 

 foo foo foo foo      some foo-related thing
 foo foo foo foo 
 foo foo foo foo
 foo foo foo foo 
 foo foo foo foo



 bar bar bar bar     some bar-related thing
 bar bar bar bar 
 bar bar bar bar
 bar bar bar bar 
 bar bar bar bar

[download]

which would be easier on my eyes...
