I find that the CompuServe software development forum is a pretty good place
to ask questions like this. People like Derek Hatley, Capers Jones, etc. 
are often able to provide information like this. Just recently, I saw a 
discussion on the level of detail in a -2167A SSS vs. an SRS which was pretty
good.
