Yes, I would prefer a specific list that covers this case. That makes it much easier for implementors to be sure that they are doing the right thing rather than having to extract some entries from a longer table. (It also makes sense from a spec hygiene pov for this list to have the same status as the rest of the parsing algorithm rather than being non-normative because it is kept in an appendix).
