[openal] Is the OpenAL 1.0 specification draft preserved anywhere?

archive.org has captures of the info page on August 2000
<https://web.archive.org/web/20000824113114/http://www.openal.org/info/>,
January
2001
<https://web.archive.org/web/20010104165900/http://www.openal.org/info/>,
and June 2001
<https://web.archive.org/web/20010602160745/http://www.openal.org/info/>.
(It shows additional captures, but the list page
<https://web.archive.org/web/20001201000000*/http://www.openal.org/info/>
indicates them as redirects only and they don't seem to work.) The June
2001 capture says that the final draft of the 1.0 specification was
released in October 2000, while the January 2001 capture doesn't mention
that but provides the same link. Both pages link to the daily snapshots
page, which was first captured in June 2001
<https://web.archive.org/web/20010605142544/http://www.openal.org/snapshots/>.
Most of the pages linked from there were captured in June 2001, but some
were captured in 2002 or 2003 instead (the zip files seem not to have been
captured at all, but there's decent coverage of the html).

It does look like there was no single 1.0 specification draft that was
released, and instead it was a continuously updated draft.
