[M4IF Technotes] h.264 status

[Alf Rieckmann]

I have some questions about h.264 (aka MPEG4-10 aka AVC) status.
What is the most recent draft spec and where can I find it? How stable 
is the current version?
What is the schedule for the final final ......spec.?
Is there a schedule for a SW reference code?
Is there any code available yet and if yes: what is the status and the 
official site for getting it?
Is there a schedule for providing a conformance test suite?
Does anybody know if there are commercial projects using (or planning to 
use) h.264 for broadcast or other services?
Thanks for help
