.. but the interpretation of those documents is often left to conjecture, e.g. "the multiplexing front end" when determining numbers of licenses required.

Although you can do this, sometimes it is worthwhile to see what kind of deal you can get from your sales rep. For instance, it is now May, the end of Oracle's FY. Due to the current economic conditions your friendly local Oracle guy is under tremendous pressure to make Oracle stockholders happy. On the other hand, Oracle has been known to mark down a product after the FYE, as they did a couple of years ago with the WAS.
