Is there some vendor-neutral wiki or other place that would be easy
to update that could be used to define tuples?  I think the table is
currently in that wiki page since that was just the easiest place to
put it.  As soon as there is some place more authoritative the table
could be replaced with a link.

If some other OS implements multiarch with different tuples, that's
no big deal.  An OS implementing multiarch using the same tuples with
incompatible meaning would be more unpleasant.
