The official GDSII document is published by Calma, as you might have
suspected.  It is titled "GDSII (tm) Stream Format Manual."  My latest
version is for Release 6.0, is dated February, 1987, and is document No
B97E060.  Unfortunately, this document covers only the syntax of Stream
Format.  To the best of my knowledge, there is *no* document that describes
the semantics of Stream Format; you need a Calma guru to enlighten you.
Even more unfortunately, attempts to divine the semantics from the names of
the syntactic record types will run across some lovely booby traps.  Do not
try this without professional assistance!
