One of the issues with Qt4 ABI specification is lack of documentation 
for some interfaces.

Please find attached the list of undocumented Qt4 interfaces, which are 
included in the standard.
They are grouped in three sheets:

  Regular interfaces      -  360 entries
  Meta-related interfaces -  460 entries
  Destructors             -   78 entries


We have to make a decision regarding to each of the interfaces.
I see the following three options:
- create specification text for an interface;
- exclude an interface from the standard;
- say that an interface have not be used by ISVs directly,
  but it have to be present in all LSB-compliant distros.
  In this case we also have to define what is valid behaviour of the 
interface.
