Here, I'll be harsh about the formatting of the index.html file as extracted
from the large .zip file. An excerpt:
...

The "Link" field is extraneous; it just wastes screen space. Better
to eliminate it and make one of the other fields ("Title" is best) an
active relative URL to the document.
It's unclear what "Download" is good for. I can copy it into a browser search
window and Google finds me the document at IBM.com. Kinda roundabout.
The "Link" is too far from the Title. On some documents, to be sure I click the
correct link I must use the edge of a window as a straightedge. A good design
principle is to place the column with the most variable length rightmost,
regardless
of its importance.
So:
