Re: Doc: Rework contrib appendix -- informative titles, tweaked sentences

Hello pgsql-web,

We're looking to improve the contrib docs with a list of trusted
extensions. In order for that look more presentable, Karl has come up
with the idea of using a <simplelist> table with multiple columns. That
would normally look quite terrible because the cell contents are too
close to one another, so he came up with the idea of increasing the
padding, as shown in this patch.

I think this is good thing, as it can help us use tabular <simplelist>
in other places too.

This change requires to change main Postgres doc/src/sgml/stylesheet.css
as Karl suggested here:

... but in addition it needs the pgweb CSS to be updated to match, as in
the attached patch.

What do you think?
