I agree.
I already have a Note section to indicate issues with the reader [1].
A Features section [2] to indicate some reader features like
contactless, pinpad, biometric, etc.
A Limitations section [3]. The only listed limitation is "No extended APDU".

The pinpad firewall is a feature (for the manufacturer) but can be a
limitation (for the user/developer). Where should I add this
information? I propose to use feature. Any better idea?

If you provide the testing tool that is even better :-)
The tool can be added in the contrib directory [4].

Thanks
