Hi,
I have two questions regarding these 2D barcode formats:
1. It seems that Maxicode is not supported by iText. Is there
any plan to add Maxicode in the future? (I do know there are
Maxicode projects out there. I just wonder about a more 
'integrated' solution that's all).

2. It seems rather unintuitive that BarcodePDF417 is not
a subclass of Barcode. I suppose the reason is because
Barcode is designed to be 1D. But it seems to me the 2D
class does share many of the same interface with 1D Barcode
(for example setText/setCode, setHeight,...). If we should
adhere to a strict design, can we have something like
a grand Barcode super-interface, and then two sub-interface's
(or abstract classes) Barcode1D and Barcode2D? Then
we can treat barcode instances in a more ubiquitous way,
for example:
Barcode bc = (Barcode)Class.forName(clsName).newInstance();
...
bc.getImage();

which right now is impossible because BarcodePDF417 does
not share a common ancestor.
Thank you.
