Error in dashboard spec

I believe I have found an error in the dashboard spec.
The file dashboard-specification.pdf, dated 1.5.2005 says (on page 4) that
the "extended" packet is:

Code:
...
    Byte06 USER BYTE 2
    Byte07 USER BYTE 3
    Byte08 CTRL_A
    Byte09 USER BYTE 5
    Byte10 CTRL_B
    Byte11 USER BYTE 5
    Byte12 CTRL_C
    Byte13 USER BYTE 6
    Byte14 PACKET NUMBER
    Byte15 USER BYTE 6
    ...
My experiments have shown that byte07 is not USER BYTE 3, but that byte09 is, and that bytes 4 & 5 are in byte11 and byte13, like this:

Code:
...
    Byte06 USER BYTE 2
    Byte07 ?????????
    Byte08 CTRL_A
    Byte09 USER BYTE 3
    Byte10 CTRL_B
    Byte11 USER BYTE 4
    Byte12 CTRL_C
    Byte13 USER BYTE 5
    Byte14 PACKET NUMBER
    Byte15 USER BYTE 6
    ...
