Layout help

I'm gonig to add some well-documented .info samples to the packaging
manual, and wonder how best to arrange them. Should I do two parallel
columns, with explanations next to each line? Or have the whole file
first with numbered lines, and then number the corresponding notes
afterwards? I don't like the idea of using regular .info comment
syntax, because that makes it hard to get line-wrapping and other text
formatting to work well.

I put together quick samples of the two ideas at
http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks/fink/test.html, and I don't think
either way looks particularly pretty (though the multicomlumn approach
seems easier to understand). If anyone has any ideas for improving
these layouts, or entirely different and better arrangements, I'd love
to hear...

(Note that this is auto-generated from xml source, so even complex
HTML will (probably:) not be a problem to maintain.)
