+NFSv4.1 Server Implementation
+=============================
+
+Server support for minorversion 1 can be controlled using the
+/proc/fs/nfsd/versions control file. The string output returned
+by reading this file will contain either "+4.1" or "-4.1"
+correspondingly.
+
+Currently, server support for minorversion 1 is enabled by default.
+It can be disabled at run time by writing the string "-4.1" to
+the /proc/fs/nfsd/versions control file. Note that to write this
+control file, the nfsd service must be taken down. You can use rpc.nfsd
+for this; see rpc.nfsd(8).
+
+(Warning: older servers will interpret "+4.1" and "-4.1" as "+4" and
+"-4", respectively. Therefore, code meant to work on both new and old
+kernels must turn 4.1 on or off *before* turning support for version 4
+on or off; rpc.nfsd does this correctly.)
+
+The NFSv4 minorversion 1 (NFSv4.1) implementation in nfsd is based
+on RFC 5661.
+
+From the many new features in NFSv4.1 the current implementation
+focuses on the mandatory-to-implement NFSv4.1 Sessions, providing
+"exactly once" semantics and better control and throttling of the
+resources allocated for each client.
+
+The table below, taken from the NFSv4.1 document, lists
+the operations that are mandatory to implement (REQ), optional
+(OPT), and NFSv4.0 operations that are required not to implement (MNI)
+in minor version 1. The first column indicates the operations that
+are not supported yet by the linux server implementation.
+
+The OPTIONAL features identified and their abbreviations are as follows:
+
+- **pNFS** Parallel NFS
+- **FDELG** File Delegations
+- **DDELG** Directory Delegations
+
+The following abbreviations indicate the linux server implementation status.
+
+- **I** Implemented NFSv4.1 operations.
+- **NS** Not Supported.
+- **NS\*** Unimplemented optional feature.

+ The spec claims this is mandatory, but we don't actually know of any

+ NFS4ERR_ENCR_ALG_UNSUPP on EXCHANGE_ID, which should be future-proof.

+GSS on the backchannel:
+ Again, theoretically required but not widely implemented (in
+ particular, the current Linux client doesn't request it). We return
+ NFS4ERR_ENCR_ALG_UNSUPP on CREATE_SESSION.
+
+DELEGPURGE:
+ mandatory only for servers that support CLAIM_DELEGATE_PREV and/or
+ CLAIM_DELEG_PREV_FH (which allows clients to keep delegations that
+ persist across client reboots). Thus we need not implement this for
+ now.
+
+EXCHANGE_ID:
+ implementation ids are ignored
+
+CREATE_SESSION:
+ backchannel attributes are ignored
+
+SEQUENCE:
+ no support for dynamic slot table renegotiation (optional)
+
+Nonstandard compound limitations:
+ No support for a sessions fore channel RPC compound that requires both a
+ ca_maxrequestsize request and a ca_maxresponsesize reply, so we may
+ fail to live up to the promise we made in CREATE_SESSION fore channel
+ negotiation.

-NFSv4.1 Server Implementation
-
-Server support for minorversion 1 can be controlled using the
-/proc/fs/nfsd/versions control file. The string output returned
-by reading this file will contain either "+4.1" or "-4.1"
-correspondingly.
-
-Currently, server support for minorversion 1 is enabled by default.
-It can be disabled at run time by writing the string "-4.1" to
-the /proc/fs/nfsd/versions control file. Note that to write this
-control file, the nfsd service must be taken down. You can use rpc.nfsd
-for this; see rpc.nfsd(8).
-
-(Warning: older servers will interpret "+4.1" and "-4.1" as "+4" and
-"-4", respectively. Therefore, code meant to work on both new and old
-kernels must turn 4.1 on or off *before* turning support for version 4
-on or off; rpc.nfsd does this correctly.)
-
-The NFSv4 minorversion 1 (NFSv4.1) implementation in nfsd is based
-on RFC 5661.
-
-From the many new features in NFSv4.1 the current implementation
-focuses on the mandatory-to-implement NFSv4.1 Sessions, providing
-"exactly once" semantics and better control and throttling of the
-resources allocated for each client.
-
-The table below, taken from the NFSv4.1 document, lists
-the operations that are mandatory to implement (REQ), optional
-(OPT), and NFSv4.0 operations that are required not to implement (MNI)
-in minor version 1. The first column indicates the operations that
-are not supported yet by the linux server implementation.
-
-The OPTIONAL features identified and their abbreviations are as follows:
- pNFS Parallel NFS
- FDELG File Delegations
- DDELG Directory Delegations
-
-The following abbreviations indicate the linux server implementation status.
- I Implemented NFSv4.1 operations.

OK, I've made a quick pass through these. They are mostly OK, with a
couple of exceptions. One is that it has the "#." problem in enumerated
lists, which needs to be fixed as was done with the previous set.
And then there is:

That leads to results that look like this:

...and that is essentially unreadable. Remember that the plain-text
format matters too, so we can't do it this way.
The original is in something fairly close to the RST multicell table
format already; it shouldn't be too hard to add the tweaks needed to make
sphinx happy...?
Thanks,
