The OFW specification has been named (and even linked) in the history of
SeaBIOS, see eg. Markus's recent commit 275672eb. The spec has a base
part and some bindings.

The thing I quoted earlier was IEEE Std 1275-1994:

  IEEE Standard for Boot (Initialization Configuration)
  Firmware: Core Requirements and Practices

  3.2.1.1 Node names

for the generic syntax rules. (I'm not linking it because it seems to
live at a different place every second week, so go ahead and google it.
For example, the particular binding referenced in Markus's commit
275672eb is not available at that location any longer.)
