[way late to the party...]

Or, better, in a man page that describes the kernel interface :-).
Many other filesystems have by now Section 5 pages in the man-pages 
package that I maintain. A udf(5) page that describes the mount options 
that the kernel supports for UDF would be best, and I think best lives 
inside "man-pages" because it is kernel interface stuff.

Or, did such a page already land in udf-tools?

Cheers,
