I wonder if we should update our fork of docsy now that google/docsy#470 is closed...
Anyway, I guess that is a separate problem.

Just signed-off the commit. I'd be happy to add a changelog entry but none of the allowed changelog entry types fits this PR (new, feature, clarification, breaking, deprecation). I'd classify this as "style" but I'm assuming |

That really sounds like a change to the text of the spec ... so I don't really want to classify it as "clarification" since I'd consider that as misleading. |

I mean you're right, and #1369 mentions the fact that it's not a great match. But it's what we use for now. Compare https://spec.matrix.org/v1.7/changelog/#internal-changestooling for where we've done this in the past. None of those are really changes to the spec. |

Yeah: Martin Fischer.
Per request at #1601 (comment)
On desktop the tables in the specification currently have quite awkward column widths, making them harder to read.
While the fixed table-layout does have an advantage on mobile since it avoids unnecessary horizontal scrolling in the tables, we can just use it on narrow browser widths via a media query, while still using the more readable auto layout on desktop.
