Perhaps "renderer" should be replaced by "writer" as that term is used elsewhere in directives.txt. Though the term "builder" is also used in docutils/Sphinx context, I think.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
In Docutils parlance, "writer" is the part of the Docutils suite that writes the document in a specific output format (HTML4CSS1 writer, Manpage writer, LaTeX writer, ODF writer) while "renderer" ist the user agent rendering the document (a HTML/Web browser, the "TeX" engine with LaTeX macro set called as "pdflatex" in order to convert the *.tex source to PDF, a PDF viewer, a man-page viewer, LibreOffice, ...)
It is important to make sure, which agent (writer or renderer) shall determine the column widths.

The new behaviour is documented now.
Thanks for the patch.
