10-bit addressing is untested because I had no compatible slave device.

Andres.. Thanks for speaking up. Can you update the project page and link
to your blog?

What else do you think needs find on the Pi and Pi2?

I haven't researched it yet to know if it is feasible but I am curious if
the Arduino HW libraries have a clean porting layer which could provide
support for a lot of i2c devices. Is this a wikd goose chase or of
potential value?
