Hi Andreas,

for the additional columns

- subitems: that shouldn't be necessary, as this will be part of a regular 
entry. A sample is 7.4 Filter and 7.4.2 - 7.4.10 with all the subentries. I 
think there is a limit though as to what detail we should go.
- read/r, write/w … - good idea. What type of information would you consider? 
reading, writing, rendering? other?
- WDYT about another columns %completed which could provide a rough estimate 
about completeness with regards to the spec.

The table should provide an overview only. As the table grows I plan to split 
it up a little so it's easier to read. I would envision the Javadocs to be used 
for additional information. E.g o.a.p.filter.DCTFilter is available but the 
methods themselves are only placeholders. Maybe this could be part of the 
javadocs for the individual classes. Currently one needs to look into the 
source to get to the information.
