To develop I2O software requires an NDA; the group will not make the
spec publically available. Obviously, this is bad for free software,
so we ought to campain the I2O group to release the spec. See
http://www.i2osig.com for info. Their address and phone is:

I2O Special Interest Group
404 Balboa Street
San Francisco, CA 94118
Tel: +1 415 750 8352
Fax: +1 415 751 4829
