My understanding of the legal situation is that what's circulating
around the net in plain text form is *draft* versions of the spec.
It is okay to redistribute these freely. The *official* version
you are supposed to pay for.
No, I don't know how close the drafts really are to the final.
Personally I tend to consult the draft versions more than the PDF
versions anyway, because it's vastly easier to search flat ASCII
files than PDFs ... so I sure hope they're pretty close ...
