I'm not trying to rock the boat here, but this information is actually incorrect.

Back in October (after this post was made), I created a resource in the Wiki based on the OpenSpell XML file. It is by no means complete (as in, missing descriptions about several of the fields), but of course others are welcome to contribute to it

There are a total of 203 fields (labeled field0 through field202), and are in a fairly different order than listed above.
