Constants: Tables or Varlists?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I was looking over some older documentation to get ideas on formatting for docs I was writing, and something struck me: some of the constant lists were written using <variablelist> (ref.array), while others were written using <table> (ref.mysql). Arguably, <table> is less semantic than <variablelist>, but I tend to favor the compactness of a table (a single entry takes up one line, rather than two). I'd like to know if there are any guidelines regarding which to use. For the record, xml_proto.php writes <variablelist> style constant lists by default. Also, with a little bit of XSLT hacking, it would probably be possible to turn <variablelist> into the table form. - -- Edward Z.
