In this analysis, the 4rd-u port-set algorithm is presented as an instance of GMA algorithm (i.e. Generalized Modulus Algorithm). I think it would be more appropriate to have it in its own category, e.g. that of "parameter-less" algorithms (it has no reference to any modulo operator, and isn't intended to generalize anything) It happens to to be alone in this parameter-less category but, since the goal is standardization, isn't this more good than evil?
I'm not sure moving 4rd-U to its own section would be useful for the purposes of the document. What's important here is the similarity between 4rd-U, MAP, and divi-pd, not the number of parameters that they use. This similarity allows us to derive a single summary table containing properties shared by all of them (section 3.1.4).
Note that the draft says "GMA-style" algorithms, which gives us some leeway...
