Would this be a more helpful comparison format?

Yesterday, I posted a comparison of support for rich text tables in the Midas Rich Text 3.61 and Notes 7.x. After thinking about it, I wondered if the following format would be preferable. This is just a partial table, but I will update with a complete table if people like the format. The two changes are that the color now indicates the support or lack thereof, and I indicate the methods or properties or technotes which support such a feature in Midas. What do you think?
Tables - Feature | Support in Midas Rich Text 3.61 | Support in Notes 7.x rich text classes |
Create new regular table | Supported | |
Create nested table | Supported | |
Access regular table | Supported | |
Access nested table | Not supported | |
Create tabbed table | Supported | |
Modify tabs after creating | Not supported | |
Set tab font and appearance | Not supported | |
Create programmable table | Not supported | |
Create animated table with various settings | Not supported | |
Modify type of table (tabbed, programmable, animated) on existing table | Not supported | |
Set cell border style and color | Not supported | |
Set drop shadow value | Not supported | |
Set row and column spacing | Not supported | |
Set table left and right margins (whole table, not cells) | Not supported | |
Set cell width on creation | Supported | |
Table to be continued if people like this approach | ||

Yep, this is better, it tells you what can be done, and then how to do it. Fantastic. And I like the green/red thing, it conveys info, but I would -definitely- tone down the colors to be less flourescent - keep the colors, just a little more pale.
