Weirdly, with the table designs, he switches to using italics for the %s without discussion.
I assume that's because, in the absence of a dividing line, it provides an additional hint that the two blocks are separate? That seems to weaken his point about the importance white space for this example, though...

This post is based upon a part of my book, in which I do mention the italics, but I left it out on the first run. I've now edited to post so I do mention it. Thanks for noticing / commenting!
