While I think your idea about these descriptions is good, it seems
entirely infeasible, mainly because Xine as shipped in Fedora does _not_
support DVD menus. Though you can install non-Free codecs from wThat
Other Repository(TM) which grant this ability to Xine-using
applications, the fact remains that if we say something about features
that a program supports, we want it to be true "out of the box" or with
as little configuration necessary to achieve the goal.
Again, I don't believe it is right to say it supports DVD menus when it
does not as-is in Fedora; however, I like your idea of contrasting
features in the description.
