Wired and Wireless QoS translations

It has been difficult for me to locate good QoS references in the past...  So at some point, I put together the following cheat sheet which will hopefully help others as well.  It's based on my interpretation of the current Cisco best practices, and since I do not work directly for Cisco - it's a bit of conjecture on my part.  Still, it seems to line up well and has not yet steered me wrong.

So, without further ado:
