A hat tip goes to Crof, on Crofsblog,  for alerting me to this request.

 

 

Since I'm leaving for the Orlando Conference in the morning, and will be gone most of the next 3 days, I probably won't have time to read and blog on these documents until the weekend at the earliest.

 

The documents in question are available in PDF form from the links below.
