Simply sending to all, because it is of great interest, the reply from Lorenzo which was addressed only to me:
> JEDEC is freely availably, just register. > IPC is not, I have some of the (paid) relevant standards, but it's mostly for the formulas and constant tables.

Also TO are in wide use. However take care: > while the commonly used SOT-23 is actually TO-236 (and with that I mean > that *usually* the manufacturer package is compatible with the JEDEC > standard), the commonly called SOT-23-5 and SOT-23-6 (the 5 and 6 pin > version with the same body) are usually MO-193 *or* MO-178 (hint: the > height changes is different...).
