If you do have more complete specifications, it would certainly be very helpful if you shared them.

With the ones currently on this thread, I'm quite sure that the moment I tried to do something a bit more complicated I should end up in a dead end and have to start poking around with a binary comparison program, a task for which I have neither the time -- the second semester is near --, nor the inclination -- debugging code is already boring enough.
Therefore, anyone would be reluctant in investing his time with such uncertain results.

The (marked) incompleteness of j2t specification is compensated by the open-source implementation of the tileset extractor, but the j2l specification or the relation between the two have no reference implementations.

Obviously, incomplete documentation is quite preferable to nothing, however, I should point more emphasis is unfortunately given to side issues such as the interface with zlib (IMO a brief reference to the relevant functions should suffice), rather than the specification per se.
