Just because T10 implemented a pay wall for standards, doesn't mean they're not still the definitive source. Adding a note about where you can get free versions is a useful service, please do, but we have to keep the official links. To be honest the Duisberg site doesn't seem useful because it only has the CAM standard. The Wayback machine is more useful because it keeps a copy of the site (with the attached standards) just before the paywall went up: https://web.archive.org/web/20080828112749/http://t10.org/drafts.htm But that only really has pre 2008 standards.
