Two reasons:

* The original off www.osafoundation.org was straight HTML and the 
updated page started as a cut-and-paste.

* I wasn't happy with the visuals being produced by the wiki tables. 
The alternating background colors on a standard wiki table doesn't work 
great for this table, and the no-grid design of the original seemed to 
actually work better in this case.

Given the really low frequency of changes to this page, the better 
layout seemed (seems) worth the full-on HTML table.

There's probably some simple ways to apply the table formatting tags 
described here to have the best of both worlds:

All seem fine.  Thanks.
