I think some limits can also be treated as formula constraints.  For 
example, constraints on minimum string and integer sizes are processor 
constraints, but maximum string and integer sizes would constrain string 
and integer literals allowed in formulas.

But otherwise, I think your approach is reasonable.  The current Portable 
Document statements are saying a mix of things, and will likely need to be 
handled on a case-by-case basis.  I counted 153 of them.
