Yes all the rest should have been included. Looking over some of the other
messages we could change too:
Element Name: ChromaSubsampling
Level:        5
ID:           [55][A3]
Mandatory:    ma
Multiple:     -
Default:      0
Type:         u
Description:  (0: Unspecified, 1: 4:4:4, 2: 4:4:0, 2: 4:2:2, 3: 4:2:1, 4:
4:2:0, 5: 4:1:1, 6: 4:1:0, 7: 3:1:1)
