CCID descriptor statistics: section

Article from the serie "CCID descriptor statistics"

section#%
Should work readers17968.32 %
Supported readers5922.52 %
Unsupported readers166.11 %
Disabled readers83.05 %

A large part of the readers (70%) have not been tested by me. It is not a problem if the reader is working correctly. It is more problematic if the reader is bogus. If a user reports a problem I can identify as a bug in the reader then the reader is moved in the "Unsupported list" with a note about the problem.
