Notice in the attached screen shot how taking a whole column for section
headings (e.g., Other Working Drafts), wastes all of that width for almost
the entire height of the content to the right that it labels).

For those section headings, could you find a more space-efficient layout?
Perhaps having the label cells span two columns and narrowing the first
column like this would work (view this in a fixed-width font, of course):

...
|     |                                  |
+-----+----------------------------------+
| Other Working Drafts                   |
+-----+----------------------------------+
|     | HTML 5                           |
+-----+----------------------------------+
|     | HTML 5 differences from HTML 4   |
+-----+----------------------------------+
| next label text                        |
+-----+----------------------------------+
|     |                                  |
...
