I am trying to implement other values for minor classes :

     Minor classes access point
         fully, 1-17 percent, 17-33 percent, 33-50 percent, 50-67 percent,
         67-83 percent, 83-99 percent, not available

     Minor classes audio video
         uncategorized, headset, handsfree, reserved1, microphone, loudspeaker,
         headphones, portable audio, car audio, set-top box, hifi audio, vcr,
         video camera, camcorder, video monitor, video display and loudspeaker,
         video conferencing, reserved2, gaming/toy

     Minor classes imaging
         display, camera, scanner, printer

     Minor classes wearable
         wrist watch, pager, jacket, helmet, glasses

     Minor classes toy
         robot, vehicle, doll, controller, game

But I have a problem with peripheral class as its minor classes are divided in two parts :

     Minor classes peripheral
         uncategorized, keyboard, pointing, combo

     Minor classes peripheral 2
         uncategorized, joystick, gamepad, remote control, sensing,
         digitizer tablet, card reader

A peripheral can set two minor classes (i.e. pointing and digitizer tablet) but GetRemoteMinorClass call can only return one string.
Do you have an idea how this should be implemented to address this ?
Are you OK with this list of constants ?
