Thanks, found it:

Good work by Stephen (and feedback from mark lewis). It's sad that it didn't get published.

I think I found one omission: The value from "month" in the Type 2(+) packet header is "0-11 for Jan-Dec" (in contrast to 1-31 for "day" of month). This isn't mentioned in Stephen's draft.
