Gary may be more right in part of his answer.  He said that it was not a
matter of not giving the info - it was NOT HAVING the info in the first

Maybe it is because the latest HTs are still using the same protocol, and
the system is still being sold.  Just my guess....
Of course, they release the info for most of the CI-V stuff.
