Today I received my copy of the 1364-2001 Standard in pdf form. All of the
corrections that I sent to the IEEE appear to have been incorporated
(requested changes attached).

Is there a different version online?

I know I did not get all of the corrections in. As BTF chair I made a
judgement call concerning which changes I had a chance to get in. At first
glance, all of these changes made it in.
