I thought we were just referring to the content. Technical 
specifications are a whole other affair (painful though it is, after 
reading up on Multiwinia's goings onto XBLA!). Apart from a few accounts 
there isn't much just out there as legal documents or agreements on what 
is needed since it's all kept under NDA's and whatever terms of 
agreement to not tell anyone about it. If I was more interested it'd be 
fascinated to try and find out the entirety of it though for all the 
systems.
