The following Wired article :
http://www.wired.com/news/news/technology/story/5343.html
_had_ a link to a draft (V1.5) of their specs (on the FTP server of the
consortium itself). It used to be publicly accessible when Wired
issued the story, by end July: it is a nice 2Mb PDF document and
I downloaded it out of curiosity. [ The link from Wired was removed
apparently around August 1st ]

I didn't keep the URL but I doubt it still is accessible now without
being a member (I'm not).
A search for "ver1-5.pdf" on Altavista yields the following, among
others:
http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~mitz/
which has a link to the document:
http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/ver1-5.pdf
Note that only I2O members have to comply with their stupid requirements
regarding driver source code distribution.
