Ah, interesting. That is because I put "max-width: 60em" on the body
content. The table is clearly wider than that, and so spills over
the right hand margin. I'll add some custom css for the table to
fix that - basically will make it ignore the max-width, but keep
centered.

Can you point me to a page showing the problem so I can better understand
it.
