Hi,

Mentioning new additions on this list is perfectly
reasonable. The current wiki system doesn't have an RSS
notification, so it's hard for people to find out any other
way whether someone's made new changes. (We have it in the
plans to convert to using another wiki system that will
provide some more notification facilities.)

Thanks for this note. Not sure how this kept getting past
people for so long.... We will make sure to get this into
the L2V2 specification (which is coming soon, incidentally).
