many thanks for this link, very very useful indeed. it should be noted, though, that this text describes a theoretical, best practises guideline for the audio industry. many very widely distributed music surround productions do not adhere to it, and cinema is a wholly different beast altogether. but yeah, if everybody adhered to these recommendations, the world would be a better place :)
the only gripe i have with this after a casual first glance is the monitor level recommendation. a range of omg six(!) db is no recommendation at all. and pity those engineers who monitored for years at 85dB SPL for 0dB. for most practical reference levels before the advent of EBU R128, that kind of power constitutes grievous bodily harm.
