They will be implemented in the source (of course).

I did check the Programmers guide, expecting them to be defined there -
and some slight additions might be needed there. These are items that
you tend to use and forget about...

Appears to be unused - which feels wrong, I will look again...

Used to indicate if a BitMap is defined and to be used from (defaults to
field number 1)

> bitmapField
overrides the BitMap field number (from 1)

Controls the PADding boolean on field types that allow it. The field
know hows to pad itself.

Used in IF_T* field types that are terminated by the value specified for

This is used when you need to configure fields higher than 128 (i.e. up to 192).

We have:

String maxField = atts.getValue("maxValidField");

then:

if (maxField != null)
maxValidField = Integer.parseInt(maxField);

in GenericPackager.java around line #230
