Hmm, I'd missed the comment that the *spec* requires the details to be kept confidential. So effectively Microsoft is using this as an excuse to compel hardware manufacturers to not publish specs, with the effect of hamstringing open source driver development. Of course they'll protest that it's not their fault but it certainly fits with past practices from Redmond. :-( Without a copy of the spec it's hard to say how much is direct quotation and how much is inference..
