It is correct usage, if what you want in the result is this:

 `0x1     N_SO_AS'
     Assembly language
 `0x2     N_SO_C'
     K&R traditional C
 `0x3     N_SO_ANSI_C'
     ANSI C

In other words, "@table @code" typesets the entire argument of each
@item in the @code face (in Info, that is emulated by enclosing it in
single quotes), and indents the text after the @item line by 4 spaces.
Therefore, if the indentation and the general formatting of @table is
okay with you, I think the following will look better:

    +@table @asis
    +@item @code{N_SO_AS} (0x1)
    +Assembly language
    +@item @code{N_SO_C} (0x2)
    +K&R traditional C

etc., you get the point.  This typesets only the N_SO_* symbols as
@code, and also emphasizes the symbolic names rather than the numeric
values, which I think is what we want.

Thanks.
