In this particular case someone from TippingPoint asked me to change their
entry.  Since we picked up the "bad" entry from the IEEE, it had to be
overridden in manuf.tmpl.  Once the IEEE fixes their entry we should
probably remove ours.

I think it's useful to manually beautify entries despite the extra work
involved.
