The most recent draft of the Amendment document is available at
http://www.ada-auth.org/amendment.html. Also, the most recent (incomplete)
draft of the RM and AARM are on-line. They're supposedly not available to
the public (because they are incomplete), but since some search engines know
where they are, finding them isn't hard.

Of course, neither of these is a summary. The AARM includes "differences",
"extensions", and "incompatibilities" sections, so those could be used to
help create a summary.
