Maybe.

Jump targets and absolute referrals are only one more pass and a sorted 
list (noi  more tables are neded, and it's even easy to tag what kind of 
references exist to the label IF you know the address that the code 
lives at).

Data detection. Hmm. And bells? And whistles? What kind of data? Text? 
Null terminated ASCII? High-bit terminated, $-terminated, 
count-prefixed, EBCDIC or other charsets? Floating point? And would sir 
like fries with that?
