The TWAIN standard is open, and here is the link:

   http://twain.org/docs/TWAIN19.pdf

Actually the capabilities are even quite similar.

In retrospect I wonder why TWAIN was not used when SANE was
started for the open / free OSs. Maybe just to do it differently than
on Windows and the Mac.

Yours,
