You make a good point.  Unfortunately, the wording in the S2RB predates the 
complicated situation we now have.  Who determines "normal" service manual 
collection..?  I think of the "service manual" as including all publications 
required to repair or service the car, and that would include OBD II on current 
cars.  I think if it's protested, it would be up to the protestee to have it or 
have access to it.  I can see the possibility of protest committees allowing a 
protestee some time to come up with documentation...
