-===========================================
-
-Currently Unsupported Queryset Methods
---------------------------------------
-
-+   ``defer()`` and ``only()``: Full support, including slight polymorphism
-    enhancements, seems to be straighforward (depends on '_get_real_instances'). 
-
-+	``select_related()`` works just as usual, but it can not (yet) be used
-	to select relations in derived models
-	(like ``ModelA.objects.select_related('ModelC___fieldxy')`` )
-
-+   ``distinct()`` needs more thought and investigation
-
-+   ``values()`` & ``values_list()``: Implementation seems to be mostly straighforward

 Restrictions & Caveats
-----------------------
+======================
+
+*   The queryset methods ``values()``, ``values_list()``, ``select_related()``, 
+    ``defer()`` and ``only()`` are not yet fully supported (see above)
 
 *   Django 1.1 only - the names of polymorphic models must be unique
     in the whole project, even if they are in two different apps.
