Hi Heinrich,

As a matter of fact and strictly speaking, there are bunch of
missing features;
* Boot manager (section 3)
  - boot manager policy
  - support for some of Boot option variables
  - boot recovery
* various protocols,
  - from section 11 to section 20 and
  - from section 24 to section 30
* Firmware Update (Spec section 23)
* UEFI Byte Code(EBC) machine (Spec section 22)
* Secure boot (Spec section 31)
* Support for some of HII packages (section 33)
* HII configuration protocols (section 34)
* security&crypto-related protocols (section 36)
* Variables
  - support for authentication

I don't think that we should list all of them, but we should definitely
describe the *criteria* for what features be implemented and what not.

# Personally, I'd like to add "integration of DM and UEFI objects" :)

Thanks,
-Takahiro Akashi
