This table seems to be required, a Font without a maxp table crashes FontValidator. While the 0.5 version is simple, it seems each TTF font requires the 1.0 table, which says to require all values.
Currently, there is only a default function for the 0.5 version (for OTF fonts).
Here is how fonttools calculates the 1.0 table.
When it is enough in praxis to set the difficult values to 0, I think such a function would also be enough.
