The drafts are not generally available in machine-readable format due to IEEE
copyright considerations.  (There are sound reasons behind this, having to
do with potential abuse, not just "policy" issues.)

There are mailing lists.  However, as I don't know the current status
of who is maintaining them, I won't give you a contact (out of respect
for the other guy's mailbox).  Will someone who is current (I cc'd this
note) please chime in.

Donn Terry (as an individual, more-or-less).
