Well, I registered then with Sony for no reason at all. I need to update
the doc so someone else doesn't fall into that trap.

I had looked on the Wayback  as well and couldn't find it. Do you have an
exact URL?

I'd prefer if we could find and use freely available docs. I have no

they are the same in the areas we care about.

If folks prefer to buy the final spec - okay. But in  OSF projects I work
on, I would prefer not to put any pressure or advertising for non-free
documents.
