It sounds reasonable, but I'd add 1-2 levels of organization
to avoid huge tables, less readable.

How about "Mapping Hacks"-like organization by task (or better,
by hack:-)) and then language-solution matrix.

...
2. GPS
2.1 Share data between applications

lang/frmt  |   GPX    |   GML    | ...
----------------------------------
C++        |   bar    |   foo    | ...
----------------------------------
Java       |   ...    |  ...     | ...
----------------------------------
Python     |   ...    |  ...     | ...
----------------------------------
           |          |          |

I hope this ASCII art is readable.
