It is from the spec that is on your site, isn't it? I usually use a 
copy of DPMI 0.9 spec I have in some reference book published in 
Poland. All the page-related and debug-support functions are clearly 
stated as 'required' there. I think, however, I will rather believe 
the specs from your site than the one from the book. BTW. is 'your' 
specification an official one?
