I don't think it would take very much to go from rosetta stone to a more comprehensive feature comparison.

For example, the table could show the blank cell in a different color if it is a default feature, or if it an unsupported feature.

Alternatively, the cell could contain a message such as "(default)".




It's going to be two pages ultimately. If you're comparing features, you don't care about the how.

Right now we're keeping all the data in a JSON file that we massage into a chart. Massaging it into a true feature comparison chart, along with a rosetta stone, should be a simple matter of programming. Same thing with the GNU/POSIX/BSD rosetta stone we're working on.
