Realtek 8180 specs--would they help?

Recently, I emailed Realtek and asked if they would A) Update the 8180 driver, B)Open all of the source for the driver, or C) Provide the specifications of the chipset so a driver could be written. They responded by sending me what appears to be the same document as was posted here last year by someone, who was accused of acquiring it in an illegal manner. I searched the kernel archives and found that development for a driver for the 2.6 kernel has apparently either ceased or at least slowed.
My questions are: Is there a chance this document (90 page pdf) be helpful in writing a new driver? Is development for a new driver more active than it appears? If the document could be helpful, exactly what measures would I have to take to assure the community that it was obtained exactly as I stated (and with Realtek's blessing)?
I don't want to do the wrong thing here, and as such I will not post the document until receiving feedback. I am not subscribed to the list, so please cc any answers.
Thank you for your time.

An open source RealTek wireless driver is forthcoming by late August...

Any indication of RealTek's willing to put the relevant documentation online as well ?
