Metze,

Thanks for doing this.  

The only remaining comment I have is that I would like the three-letter
tags expanded.  Longer names would be easier to comprehend while reading
the table. 

Once we get this in, I would like to further propose reducing the number
of paths even further, but for now I do really appreciate you putting
your mind to this challenge.
