If it helps, there was some work on this by the RunRev Interoperability Project at the 'revInterop' Yahoo group: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/revInterop/. 

I know Richard put a mirror of the document we were working on somewhere, but I can't recall where, so I put it here for download/direct display:

It hasn't been updated in a while, but I know several developers (including myself, of course) that are using (most) of the specification in their own work.
