I don't think that explanations would cut it. The page is already
over-full - adding even more text would make it less manageable.
I'm not sure about the two columns myself. It does have the advantages
and disadvantages that you list.
Maybe the page should just have two columns, instead of making each
section its own two-column table. See
http://durchholz.org/jo/testwiki/pmwiki.php?n=PmWiki.DocumentationIndex
how it looks like without additional laying-out (which would most
certainly be needed).
