There are considerable additions, but it is indeed a proper superset
(though it might break code that assumes anything about the value in
AX on an error return, since 1.0 returns error codes whereas 0.9 did
not).

You can call the Intel BBS at 503-645-6275 and download a softcopy of
the spec.  Last time I checked, it was still the 0.9 version, but now
that Intel is actually shipping the 1.0 hardcopy, they have probably
updated the BBS.
