Correct me if I am wrong, but I sense that you are upset, and I find
that unfortunate. Can we please try to have a constructive (and
friendly) discussion instead? :)

The page was formatted in a certain way, following a certain logic and
consistent with the rest of the website. I think I can understand why
you may find this format disruptive to your eye, but this way of
indenting provides a better visual way of distinguishing/separating the
bullet lists; in my experience, this form of indenting is common
practice both in print and on the web, and more importantly, it is also
consistent with our theme. That's the reason why I reverted the change
that you made and explained why I did it.

Anyway, I am more concerned about the actual content of this page. I was
hoping Niels could verify the validity of the information, but since he
seems to be off-line recently, I will check off the list with a couple
of devs.

Cheers,

Koki
