Just a clarification:

DVB.org seeme to be more a marketing site than a tech site. The standards 
pages provide ETSI document names and numbers, but no links to the actual 
documents. For the documents you have to visit etsi.org.

Etsi.org on the other hand offers "free downloads on an individual basis". 
In essence you can download docs ;) When searching for docs, check the 
"Standard Type and Doc N°" check box and search for the ETS standard 
number you found from the dvb.org site. That produced the best results for 
me at least.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the PDF file seems to be outdated when I 
compare the API doc to the actual implementation...?
