As far as I know, dist10 does comply exactly with ISO 2.4.1.7
May be you could describe in some more detail where you see the differences.

The CRC is computed only for the "important" bits. This saves time in computing
and checking the crc. Which bits are important is given in detail in the 
standard.

There is some test data, that can be used to check some aspects of decoding mp3,
mainly numerical accuracy. These tests are freely available on the net and
are described in iso 11172-4 part 4 compliance checking. (There is little
use in buying part 4 of the standard, get it from a library.)
