I suppose you mean table 5.2 (the one with the constraints). I guess
you're right, and that there's too much info on that table. But, this is
all the info that must be shown in that table, so the best thing would
be to change it to something else. Maybe an <itemizedlist>?

:-)
Well, you might want to include stuff about the default provider, which
is only mentioned in the 'provider's specific information' part.

cheers & thanks for the help
