Review Comment:
   Minor: I think it's better to not alter table formatting to avoid larger 
than necessary spec changes. That helps preserve history so we can go back to 
when something changed (other than whitespace). I've been trying to get people 
to use no trailing whitespace in the last column for new tables and to avoid 
adding/removing whitespace for existing tables.
