[adding the list back]
I think that that is somewhat separate from the documentation. I
think that the documentation should probably focus on the

tp_dst as obsolete. I sent out a patch:
http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2014-October/046951.html
I'm not sure what you mean for OXM/NXM here and what you propose for
it. Can you explain further?
