Well, that's enough support for the proposal so that I went and made the change. 
  (Again, it's easy to reverse if there's a burst of opposition to it.)

On reflecting about some recent suggestions, it occurs to me that discussions 
probably ought to distinguish between "fixing" the current wiki, versus 
expanding its scope.  Correcting problems such as mis-labeling a column are 
always good to do, of course.

But as we know from working group processes doing specifications, scope- and 
feature-creep can cause an effort to lose focus.

So I'm hoping that we can maintain a focus on filling in the tables, and defer 
pursuit of the myriad excellent ideas for enhancement.

Once the wiki does a better job of satisfying its original goal -- documenting 
what IETF work has actually become used by the community -- then it will make 
sense to consider expanding its scope.
