-The CWE team has a capability for providing a "coverage graph" that highlights the location of a subset of CWEs within the context of an entire CWE hierarchy.  This could be used to conduct a gap analysis to see which CWEs are not addressed by ESAPI, which would be useful to ESAPI consumers as well as identifying possible future requirements for ESAPI itself.  See the graphical depictions of the [http://cwe.mitre.org/data/pdfs.html | CWE OWASP views] for examples.

+Only CWE identifiers associated with weaknesses were reviewed.  (Some CWE entries are arbitrary categories that organize weaknesses instead of being weaknesses themselves).
 Only the most abstract CWE identifiers were mapped, implying that lower-level variants are also covered (based on the hierarchy imposed by CWE-1000, the research view, which has a different hierarchical structure than CWE-699, the developer view).
