Interesting; thanks for the tip. It's funny; just today I decided to
try to track down a cached version of the "Key to stolen .pdf
reference grammars" page -- I figured that I could probably find the
grammars listed on it with Google as long as I knew their titles,
authors, and/or filenames. I not only found an archive.org version
[1], but the original page [2] has some potentially good news on it:

"... I sent all the files and information to various people who
volounteered to turn convert all into links, but so far I have not
heard anything back. ... Nevertheless, the good news is that Susanne
Vejdemo and Östen Dahl (Stockholm University) are apparently working
on a re-make of the old site with links plus more links, which will
be harvestable through LINGUIST LIST. I am not involved and I don't
know anything more at this time."

(And the "stolen .pdf" page is mentioned in the ZBB post, although
they link to an older version of it.)
