 I definately think the quality of your contributions is high enough, others 
can also proofread and give in their experiences, so… By *all* means, go ahead 
*already*.

It doesn´t fit all inside the table directly, I bet, *but* you can use 
footnotes or further explainations regarding features that need them with a 
headline per feature below the table and a link to it from within the table.

Thank you!
