Comment (by hinder):

 I have checked the coefficients and they look correct.  The only thing I
 don't understand is the convention for the dissipation strength.  I don't
 get the 1/1024 factor (and by extension, the factors that appear in the
 existing orders).  Do you have a reference for this?  Is it a common
 convention?  I compared with Gustafsson, Kreiss and Oliger
 (http://books.google.de/books?id=1JZ2mSQ-
 O6MC&lpg=PP1&ots=A9c4UBZBjl&dq=gustafsson+kreiss+oliger&pg=PA239&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=gustafsson%20kreiss%20oliger&f=false)
 top of p240 and when I compute that operator, I don't get the 1/1024
 factor.
