Bah. It's not like it's all that confusing. If you have anything there
at all, you're Nitrox certified, and you surely know about O2
percentages.

A tool-tip (perhaps at just the column header) would be equally
useful, and would *not* have the downside of making the entries
bigger.

Btw, if you really are a clueless user, you'll never see the gasmix at
all, because you'll have no idea that you need to middle-click on the
column headers to get the choice of columns to see.

THAT is much more confusing and subtle than "32" vs "EAN32".

And again, a tooltip would be the much better solution.

But whatever. Ignore real concerns by real users to "fix" concerns
that I doubt anybody ever got confused over.
