I'm thinking that it might also be a good idea to have a table of what "basic" 
features each filter imports/exports e.g. character formatting, paragraph 
formatting, page formatting (includes headers/footers/pagination), images etc 
so that if someone wants to help with kword filters, they have a better idea 
of what can be improved and users know what filters work best for their 
purposes (eg. I did not know that the HTML exporter could do images until 
yesterday when I used it).

"working" sounds good to me.

Or renaming what is currently "good" to "excellent" and making the new 
category "good".

Thanks!
