%%% Two notes on column specification:
%%% (i)  Column widths are manually chosen as small as possible to allow
%%%      for a wider last X column.
%%% (ii)  In the first column \linepenalty=100 prefers shorter paragraphs
%%%       (less lines), where plain \raggedright were indifferent and
%%%       sometimes caused a dangling line, e.g., for 'directionpoint of'
%%%       or 'directiontime of'.
