Worth to mention:
http://home.roadrunner.com/~jgglatt/
(includes a complete and free MIDI specification reference).

There are printed books on bookstores containing the whole MIDI specification. 
I guess they may be a better investment than buying the overpriced spec from 
midi.org. For instance:

MIDI Programmers Handbook

And more...
