DXF SRS document?

    I found the DXF Reference on AutoDesk's web site, but it is certainly
    not as rigorous or as useful or specific (or as full) as a System
    Requirements Specification document for the DXF format. This is
    pretty much required for any decent software design/engineering.

    an SRS at least defines data types (and the sizes thereof). The DXF
    doesn't even tell you what values are used for boolean. 1 or 0? 1 or
    -1? 0 or -1? TRUE or FALSE? True or False? true or false? t or f? y
    or n? I don't know.

    *** How can I obtain a copy of the DXF SRS document?
    I am trying to write a parser for the DXF format, and eventually a
    converter.

    there are a lot of ambiguities in the DXF Ref, and missing things.
    You could not write a bison parser from this without a lot of
    questions I have 59 questions to be exact.
