Yeah; I think writing MI would make for more confusion not less, since
this specifier doesn't emit the same values that HH and MI refer to.

I'm inclined to try to fix it via formatting: change HH and MM to
lower case and wrap them in <replaceable> so they render in italics.
The other details are easily discovered by experiment, so I don't
feel a need to make the table entries any more verbose. Thoughts?
