Foreword and Notice updated to new FIPA texts by J. Odell

08-06-2010: (doc), (pdf).
Changes in this version (changes may be seen by using revision mode)

inserted page numbers.
acronym MMM defined at page 18
A note added to specify that optional column "Referred concept" has not been used in the example at page 20
