This style of table in pandoc need to be terminated with a line of
-------, just like the head of the table.

Ok


Also, I wonder at the name "COLO_CONTEXT".  CONTEXT implies an
associated blob of data, but this is not the case here.  Here, it is
more of a status update, with expected actions on some states.

True, could you suggest a better name? sorry for my bad English...
