Yes, that's a glossary so you can mark it up as such. However don't
create a glossary-search-key-map.xml file because it's not actual
reference material for text in the book itself. I think lint should not
complain in this case.
Table looks good, but remove the periods from the headers (except for
am/pm of course).
Instead of the dots, use one em dash that is centered. Dot leaders are
not possible in a sane way with current HTML/CSS limitations. I would
also replace "ditto" with ldquo for readability.
Since this table looks like it groups by month (nov/dec), look in to
adding col/row semantics for accessibility. This is in the HTML spec,
not part of SE per se (as far as we proscribe requirements). See
https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/tables/
It can get a little confusing but it's important to do this for
accessibility reasons.
