It is true that in Japan the cross mark refers to a negation, and
that's the opposite in France: I would put a cross on a table in the
case where something is supported. I've never seen anybody complain
about the format of these tables, FWIW, but if these were to be
changed, the update should happen across the board for all the tables
and not only one.
Using ASCII characters also has the advantage to make the maintenance
clightly easier, in my opinion, because there is no translation effort
between these special characters and their XML equivalent, like "<"
<-> "<".
